Dimension Font Override Issue

Hello,

I’m dealing with a lot of old drawings with dimension text font over-ridden. Changing the dimstyle to the preferred dimstyle doesn’t change the font to the desired one. Is there a way to force all aspects of the dimension to be returned to dimstyle defaults?

Clearly, deleting and creating a new dim is an option, but when there’s lots of dimensions it becomes a hassle.

cheers,

Nick

Hi Nick -

Yes, but the way to do that might depend on the specific circumstances.
You can find dimensions and text with overrides with the SelDimOverride command (and SelDimTextOverride if the value of a dimension is overridden).

If you have different styles and want to keep those, you’ll also want to use the SelAnnotationStyle command.

To then remove overrides of selected objects, in the properties panel click the “Style” drop-down, hover over the current style in the list, and pick “Remove Overrides” from the context menu.
