Topic: DIMENSION MESS IN DRAWING

[SDETERS]

When I put a dimension in this particular drawing I get GD&T blocks all over the place.  Also when I move my crosshairs across this drawing the cross hairs are very jumpy.

Please help

Also I have a image of what is going on but I do not know where or how to show it in this forum.

forgive me but what are gd and t blocks?

[SDETERS]

There are used in Mechanical Drawings

Geometric dimension and tolerancing.

Like True postion and Flatness.

Yes I have it posted under the same topic.  

This is what shows up after I pick the two lines I want to dimension and before I finish putting the dimension on the print.

Holy Schnikes! I've NEVER seen an image come up that slow.. What the heck did you save it as!?!

[SDETERS]

A bmp file? Should I have saved it as a different type of file?  Sorry

Thanks

OOPS Sorry I have it saved as a JPG file now.  It is a lot smaller

Maybe this error message will help.

It is a JPEG file

Ha

THanks

No one knows what this error might mean or any insight what so ever.  I will just have to redraw it.

Thanks

The problem is likely due to corruption of third party objects in the drawing. It looks like the error message is telling you that some custom entity is not defined properly programatically. This cannot be fixed by you unless you erase the offending entities.
