automatic quotations from m to cm for quotas less than one m

[Martina Webber]

Good morning.
I would have whispered to know if it is possible to quote and make the quotas less than one meter directly in cm, without having to choose the suitable quota style (i.e. with measuring scale 100).
besides this if it is possible to insert as apex the figure of the millimetres without however to force the quota.

graze in advance and good day (even if Monday)

only those below one meter, and all the other make them stay in m you can not do.

..besides this if it is possible to insert as apex the figure of the millimeters without however to force the quota....

Yes, you have to set the "alternative units", find the board in quota styles, not just as apex, but it is possible.

 

[Martina Webber]

So should I select the odds below one meter and change the style of quota?? ? I was hoping there was an automatic way to do it.
As for the apics I tried to insert them, but I can't understand how to format them properly

I have to contradict you... if you suppress the initial zeros you can add a value scale and a suffix, then the odds that have as value, e.g. 0.45 can become automatically 45 cm

 

[Martina Webber]

thanks tristan, but where should I make these changes in quota styles? ? ?

 

[Martina Webber]

I now have tried as you suggest tristan, but if we suppress zeros (in the primary unit tab in the quota styles management window), it comes out instead of 0.45 -> .45 I don't understand how do I even remove the point

You're right, at the suppression of the initial zeros I didn't think, I had guessed who knows what solutions.... :redface:
I add the suppression of comma.

thanks tristan, but where should I make these changes in quota styles? ? ?

si

 

[Martina Webber]

thanks to all for the delucidation, now trying a little I found the solution, I also have to insert the suffix subunit "cm" if not I don't give it to me.
thanks again to tristan and also to planerroad

 

[Cristallo]

as tristan says, the loophole of the initial zero suppression is functional.
However, allow me to object that if I find a drawing with two neighboring quotas, a recitant "2,44" and that at the side "30" (thinky cm), I consider it a very poor design.
I believe it is formally mandatory to use the same notation criterion (cm, m, mm) of the quotation within at least the single element of the design. I by habit alongside the scale value, I place the notation system (scale 1:xx - xx size), let alone if in a plant I use the size in m if greater than 1m and in cm if less than 1m...

 

[Martina Webber]

I agree with you crystal, but I was asked to put the odds in this way by my superiors. In my opinion it is not very clear, unless you are talking about details in scale 1:10 or 1:5 in that case all sizes are in cm or even in mm.

 

[Martina Webber]

ce l'ho fatta!!! after 2 years of prayer I managed to convince my leaders that quotation in a single unit of measure is the correct solution according to one iso 129-1:2004, but they would still want to eliminate zero before the comma for reasons of space. as I had advised tristan on 19-05-2014 I flagged the zero suppression option before the comma in the primary unit tab in the quota styles management window for all quota styles I created of my dwt (1:100, 1:200, 1:500, etc.), but once I save the file and reopen this setting I am not maintained. I tried to see if it depends on a system variable but I can't find anything. Can anyone help me?

 

[Tristan]

what version of autocad are you using? I tried on 2016 and 2017 and it works properly

 

[Martina Webber]

I have autocad 2016, I'm setting the quota styles of my dwt and when I save and close I skip the setting, I looked if it depended on a system airtight and the only variable I found is dimzin, but it doesn't work

 

[Martina Webber]

I tried to suppress zero in the corners and that makes me, but for linear quotas nothing to do

do you have any application installed, or any lisp that starts with the opening of the drawings?
Can you use the system variable monitor?

 

[Martina Webber]

I have some lisp that automatically loads to the opening of autocad, but had never given me any kind of problems and the only application (if this is) that I installed are the express tools, I don't know how to use the system variable monitor, I saw that when I imposed the dimzin variable on 4 to zero the zeros before the comma creates a kind of substile in the quota styles.
You think it depends on the fact that I'm working in a dwt?

 

[Tristan]

No, I created a dwt too, and it doesn't give me this problem... it's not like you're changing the dimzin variable at the prompt, is it?

 

[Martina Webber]

I don't know, I only typed the variable and I changed from 0 to 4

 

[Tristan]

if you type the command line variable and change the value then it is normal that you create a local change to the style

 

[Martina Webber]

Okay, so how can I fix this?
