Dimensions Missing

[billy6565]

Using Inventor 5.0 - When adding dimensions to a sketch, the leader lines and dimension lines show up - but the dimension text is out to the side somewhere and the dimension text is truncated to only one character. Could this be a graphics card problem or a bug or a preference setting that needs adjustment?

I used to have a similar problem with SolidWorks. I do not use Inventor so I applogise if I am way off on this.

You may want to check to see if you have perspective turned on under your view options. This screwed me up more than once in the 2d enviroment.

Hope this is what you were looking for. BBJT CSWP

Are you using Win98?

Hi,

Inventor seems to be very graphic card specific. I had recently a case where I was using an approved graphic card and driver by Autodesk for Inventor, and was seeing strange random things in the .IDW files. I upgraded the driver to the latest non-approved driver and it now works perfectly. Look on the Autodesk website or in Inventor 5.3 there is a link to the graphics driver website. Or alternatively search out your latest driver anyway.

Regards
