I have several students using Autocad 2002....we dimension in Model space
(within paperspace layout) and use solview and soldraw to obtain the layout
(floating viewports). After setting the proper layer and making sure the UCS is
in the proper place, dimensions we place are sometime hidden from view,
however, are still there and selectable. What is causing this
situation...PLEASE HELP!!! I would like to be able to see the dimensions. WE
ARE STUCK!!!
Thanks to anyone with a solution.
Hmmmmm, I tried that..... had lots of problems.
Other people move stuff around in paperspace when I am not around, or I
inadvertently do. 99.9% of my dimensions are in model space. Dimensions
belong on the model, then I can create other dimension layers and control
views in different v-ports by freezing layers in v-ports

Hi, Brian;
Just out of curiosity, have you ever seen dimensions, centerlines, hidden
lines and so on at, say, bypassing car? If not than why would you put all af
these stuff into a Model space? Since the object/model in real life is free
from all of the auxiliary information shouldn't that info being placed in
Paper Space which is designated for it?

A bypassing car? I am not drawing the object in real life, I am drawing it on a computer! I have not seen any bypassing cars or trucks there. get an occasional pedestrian passing by my cubicle but that's about it.
hey, put your dimensions wherever you want. Mine are going to stay in modelspace. which by the way is where most of our clients want them, and since they are paying for the work, who am I to argue with the client?
Sooner or later, someone that works differently than you will open one of your drawings, go into model space and move stuff. have fun.
