Hi Andrew

There seems to be a problem with the "Arc Length" dimension?

Hi John,

In your file the linear measurement factor defaults to 100.
I can't replicate that in a new file.

Probably all since DimStyle overrides where implemented.

So, in essence the displayed value is correct, the scale not and not intended.
The odd thing is that there is no scale option in the Option Toolbar for the DimArcLEngth.js script.

Temporary fix: Set the linear measurement factor to 1. :wink:

All works perfectly as expected in a new file or in files I have stored over here, in any unit, in recent dxf file versions.

All but when I do the same in John's file or copy/paste to that file.

I start to wonder what 'Overrides Styles' is all about ...
I would presume that removing them would revert to the Drawing Dimension Preferences ... :shock:

CVH
