Dim Style Override

[djahnke]

How do you get rid of the style override when dimensioning. We have set up our own templates, but even when we go back to the source file delete it and try to use the template it's back. I've delete it again closed the dwg. and opened it again to find it back. Any help is appreciated

Sounds like something in your startup suite or your acad.lsp
file is adding the override.
What happens if you delete the overrides (right-click on them
in dimstyle manager) and then continue your dimension tasks?

The current "flavor of the month" from Autodesk, at least for the last two years, is that the DimStyle sets everything except the DimScale. The DimScale is then set as an override (because it is truely the only thing that changed in the DimStyle) and the dimension applied. I first saw this back in MDT4. You should be able to compare the overrides against the DimStyle and if it is only the DimScale, don't sweat it.

You are doing a save before you close the file, right?

I found it tough to start using dimstyles since most files in my office
are set up via overides. How do you revert without spending a ton of
non value added time redoing all the dimensions???
Id certainly like to know.

It is too late for those drawings, unless you want to spend the time. The time would be better spent in making sure the templates/menus/customization all enforce the standards from this point out.

You can create a new dimension style using the overrides from a existing style. Which would not require you to re-create all the styles from scratch.Just click new and start with overrides.

Also re: Roberts post. The dmscale is only a override if you override it and the dimstyle does set the dimscale. I have different dimstyles for each scale and the dimscale is the only difference between the styles. I do this to prevent dimensions from changing scales when copying from one drawing to another.

Thanks for the help, but I don't want to use the style override for my style. The style has been created, but no matter what you do to get rid of it. The override is reset as soon as you re-open the drawing (even when it is saved before exiting). We have gone back the template deleted it there and no such luck.
