Hello,

 

I am trying to create dimension from scratch using the workspace of @daveatsafe:

https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1131/creating-autocad-dimensions.html

 

I would like to draw the label in a custom location with a custom rotation. So I am trying to modify the attribute values of autocad_text_midpoint.x & autocad_text_midpoint.y + autocad_text_rotation but it doesn't seem to have an effect…

 

Does someone have experience with that?

 

Than you!

Hi @lau,

Are you also setting an attribute value for autocad_text_midpoint.z? You will need to ensure you are setting the .z attribute as well as the .x and .y attributes.

Another note worthy point to check, from the article, with regard to the autocad_text_midpoint attributes: This value can be used to position the text along the dimension line, but only takes effect if the autocad_dim_flag is greater than 127

 

If you can share your workspace saved as a template, this might help us and other users to better assist you.
