Non-numeric Character Set

Post by TheCabinetGuy » Fri May 26, 2023 2:25 pm

I have a drawing which displays non-numeric characters when defining dimension lines. I cannot find a parameter anywhere that controls this. It is only occurring with this one file, so it is not associated with the application. Please see attached pdf.

Please check your dimension label font under:

Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Font

If in doubt, set it to "Standard".
