Where do I find those?

Another example:

Should be the top one I just added.

Okay, Why would those affect it?

I believe they are giving me the paper space dimension instead of the model space one. I checked and re-associated it and still the same measurement. But why??

see that box that says APPLY to LAYOUT Dimensions ONLY.....
you must scale paperspace to get modelspace distances

Is that not what this is for? Everything should be 1:1 save for the view-port scale. When I originally place them, they are correct.

 :?

I don't use annotative scaling either, I am dimensioning 3D objects through view-ports in paper space.

Is DIMASSOC set to 2?
Seem to remember under certain circumstances if set to 1 and dimension in paperspace it will give model space distance but will revert back to distance on sheet.

Try setting it to 2

Yep, Thank you. I am almost out of here today, I will check it out tomorrow. :D

Thank you Jeff H. I believe that's what is happening. Does anyone know a quick fix or do I need to re-associate every dimension?

I miss-read that.  :uglystupid2: It is set to 2.

no....that changes size(s) of dimension parameters - arrows, texts, extension lines,etc

Yeah, I spent my morning learning how to use annotative scaling on a 3D object. I have the basics of it now. I'm working on the kinks, so to speak. See attached.

Both dimension and text height are set to 0.125. They don't both print the same height though. ??? Any help appreciated!

Also, I think isometric views don't annotate well that way and I will have to stick to paper space there.
