Thread: Dimension problem X1

John, It's not that I "enjoy" this at all. However, I do and would like to start using X1 because it does have some features that save time. It's the basic things that are killing me. For what it's worth, I am sending in two plans to tech support today. I'm having Louis look at one that has elevation problems before I send it. I want to be sure that he is getting the same problems I'm getting.

I'm getting ready to start a new project and I plan do it in ver 10.
It's a rush job and I can't take the chance of running into issues.

There was a reproducible case of dimensions not turning off that did get fixed at one point. If my memory serves it had to do with a particular sequence of editing events involving right click select. You shouldn't need to close Chief to fix this only close and reopen the plan or undo, redo.
There is a flag that gets set to turn on dimensions that are marking a particular object that isn't getting properly turned off when the edit is finished. This also happens in V10.Doug Park

Dan, I don't right click to open anything. I left click and then open. I don't know.

I'm not sure of the cause, but it could be happening while editing a certain type of object. Or maybe how the edit gets shut down. For example clicking on another object to select it vs. hitting esc. vs. hitting a toolbar button etc. These all exercise slightly different parts of the code and it's likely that some combination of these is the cause.
If you can try to remember the last thing you did when it showed up that might be a clue to the steps to reproduce. Once we find the sequence, it will probably be easy to fix.
I thought that when I fixed the last case that this was fixed but obviously there is a case that we haven't found.Doug Park

Doug, it defintely happens when I'm trying to edit something or select something. Very random though and not constistant enough to send in.

Don't worry about being responsible for reproducing it. If you can, that's awesome. If you can't but know the problem is there, give us as much information as you can. It's possible you're triggering a known issue---and we know how to test for those!Sarah Mitchell

I finally got 5 minutes of time to take a look at this and here is what I've found.
Hitting tab to get to the next object will leave some dimensions turned on until you reselect the object being edited and hit esc to cancel the edit.
A simple repro is 4 walls, auto dimension, turn off auto dim layer. Select a wall. Hit tab until nothing is selected.
To correct select the last wall you selected. Hit esc.
It's probably too late to get a fix for this into X1.3 but now that we know about the issue and how to reproduce it we should be able to get it into X1.4.
In the meantime the simple act of doing an undo/redo will correct the problem or simply select the object that last had dimensions on it and hit esc.
If this isn't how it is happening with you then please let us know so we can make sure we fix it completely.Doug Park
