I have created a new dimension style for our company to use. Everyone within the company is using the new dimension style as their current default with no problems. However, I cannot set this as MY current default for MY seat of Autocad. Autocad resets my default every time i do a copy and paste into a drawing. Any ideas? suggestions? This drives me CRAZY

Maybe you should save in a template then start from it. ------------- Ing Arben.Allaraj http://cad-drafting-corner.blogspot.com |

Problem with that is we dont start every drawing with a template file.
Most of the time we start with a dwg made via inventor (idw save as, save copy s, save as dwg), then open the 'template' file, which is really just a drawing title block and border, and copy and paste the 'template' file info into whatever were working on.

The Dimension style has to have a unique name. If you try to load it into a file that already has a dim style of the same name, it will not override the settings. Maybe that is the issue. ------------- For AutoCAD Tips & Tricks http://cadablog.blogspot.com/ - CAD-a-Blog |

Thanks bcbenton, but I checked again and it is definetly a unique name. It should allow me to default the dim style as it does for the rest of our CAD users... It is only my computer that dosent allow it.

Hey Tulip, have you attempted to check the way it's on everyone else's PC? Then check it against yours? If their sync then it's a problem with your version, try uninstal and reinstall.... Start with the original defaults and readd it that way....  hahahahahahaha
