Dual Dimensioning Can't Be Turned On

[kpaiva]

Here is an attachment of my screen shot of my options and as you can see I can't modify them. I'm looking to activate dual dimensioning for drawings. Does it have to do with my template? Thanks.

Hi,

I can't explain why you cannot modify drawing option. You can try to cheat ... save drawing option to file, modify this file and include modified file back into the drawing.

You cannot set 'dual_dimensioning' to 'yes', because the legal values for dual_dimensioning are:

no

primary[secondary]

secondary[primary]

secondary

I believe that primary[secondary] is the normal standard means for dual dimensioning, so that is probably the one you want.  You can see the list of acceptable values in the pulldown.

Thats it. Thanks.
