Angular Dimensions

[Payne]

I seem to have a bit of a hiccup with my angular dimensions.

Example:
I draw a detail at 1:10 scale, send it to layout.
Go back to my plan, change my active annotation set to a 1:100 scale.
Go to my layout page and my angular dims are all HUGE, yet all the other dims are the same.

They seem to change with whatever the set is that I'm using at the time, even if its not in the same CAD detail section (I have a different one set up for each one I use).

I'm not sure if I described that in a way that is understandable...

But any help would be handy.

Emma,

Are you really drawing your detail at 1:10 scale or are you drawing it at full scale and using a 1:10 scale annoset.
Can you post the plan and layout files?

It sounds strange that only the angular dimensions are changing size.

to add to what Glenn is saying:

everything in the plan including cad details should be drawn at 1:1 scale

then when you send to layout use 1:10 or 1:100 etc

You are not having trouble. The angle dimension tool does not keep it's scale. It changes scale in every drawing when you change scale in any drawing. I discovered this and went over it with the help line people. Please report this to the company so they get incentive to correct it.

oh, yer, I'm drawing it 1:1 and just using the 1:10 annoset, sorry, guess I wasn't clear on that one.
I draw it 1:1, send it to layout as 1:10, 1:20 etc.
Then if I go into the plan, change my set to another scale the dims change.
I'll see if I can attach a picture that would show it properly.

So for future reference this is pretty much what happens
