Some superscript dimensions missing in Layout "Drawings

Anonymous

Hello,
I have noticed lately that some superscript dimensions are missing
in layout drawings that are present in the project.
I am using AC 10 and have not noticed this in the old Plotmaker pmks.
Please see attached image.

I am wondering if others have noticed this and if someone has
figured out how to predict when it will occur and how to fix it.

Thank you,
Peter Devlin

Well I have found out a few things looking into this issue.
If I "save as" the floor plan in .pdf, .pict, .tif, .psd or .ping
none of these image file types show the superscript dimensions.
But, if I make a screen shot of the plan window the Mac makes
a .ping that does show the superscript dimensions

Peter, you've replaced the image since you first posted this, haven't you?
Anyhow, my guess would be you have a font issue. try exchanging your dimension font with some others, system, TrueType, Postscript and see what happens.

Hello Thomas.
Thank you for posting back.
Yes, I did replace the first image with another.
I thought the second one was clearer.
I will try what you suggest.
Thanks,

Hello Thomas,
I tried both a TrueType (Helvetica) and a Postscript (Cuorier) font
but still no superscript dimensions. Notice that the superscript
appears when it is part of a larger dimension like 2 3/8"
but a superscript dimension by itself does not show.
I did a search on this forum to see if this issue had been
encountered by anyone else but found nothing.
I take it that you have not run into this issue. Apparently no one
else has either (59 views, one response, yours).
Thanks Thomas,
Peter Devlin

I have just been informed by David Tauer at Graphisoft US tech support
that this is a known issue in AC 10 that was never fixed in that version.
So, to whom it may concern, to get the dimensions to show you need
to disable "Fractions in Small Type" or enable "Zero Holes".
Has this been fixed in AC 11 ?

"not zero holes", not "note zero holes".

This is happening now in 13. Anyone else seeing this? Is there something I need to do to fix the problem? It is very annoying to have to switch to zero wholes.....
