Hi all,
I am experiencing some issues on Autocad. I been working on an assignment, and have two layouts for my drawings. First layout is elevation views and second layout is for details. On my details view I activate the view ports and add in dimensions, and same with my elevations views. However for some reason some of the dimensions I put in on the details views are now showing up on my elevation layout. The rest of the dimensions are fine and in their corresponding layouts. How can I fix this problem so I do not have other dimensions showing up on the wrong layout?

You could do all your dimensioning in the layout instead of in model space.

Try to show annotative objects only for the current scale.

You might have been in a layout when you added your dimensions but it sounds to me as though you were adding them THROUGH a viewport which means your dimensions would be in model space.  How else would you explain that dimensions that you don't want to see are appearing in a different viewport?

Are you utilizing annotative scaling?
