P Retondo Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Anyone know how to get a 3D dimension drawn on a design layer to appear properly in a sheet layer viewport? I get the witness lines, but the text is a blank box. Quote Link to comment
nplache Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hi, Can't seem to replicate your issue, 3D dimensions appear fine in viewports for me. Can you upload the VWX file? Quote Link to comment
P Retondo Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Thanks for the interest, nplache, I discovered that dimension text doesn't display in wireframe rendering mode. I rendered in OpenGL, and they now display okay. Quote Link to comment
nplache Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Glad that its working for you now. not sure if wireframe is the issue tho, my dims display regardless of render mode, see attached. Quote Link to comment
P Retondo Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Thanks, Nic, I think it might be v2015 vs v2016. If it's a setting, I've looked at them and can't find any answers. I also get the annoying rectangle around the dimension text, which I see you don't have. I've resisted going to 2016 despite owning the licenses because of all the reported instabilities. Jim, if you're monitoring, first priorities for me in future updates and development: reliability, speed. Everything else tends to be bells and whistles if those are not solid. Quote Link to comment
pmstrain2013 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm having a similar issue - dimensions are not showing up. Also, the dimensions don't seem to snap to any line. I run the dimension and then they just disappear. The Dimension class is on. I've not had this issue with other files. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Is Display Planar Objects selected in the OIP of the Viewport? Quote Link to comment

If you're in a viewport, ^ this ^ is the most likely cause. If the above doesn't correct it: If you set all classes to visible, then verify that View > Layer and View > Class Options are both set to Show/Snap/Modify Others, do you still not see the dimensions? If you hover over where the dimensions were placed, do you see a highlight but no geometry? Or just nothing at all? Quote Link to comment
