DIMENSIONS READ '0'

Anonymous

We recently 'upgraded' to AC13. I am working in a teamwork file. Last night, I dimensioned a plan detail - with dimensions showing up perfectly. I came into work this morning, opened the program, and the dimensions for that detail are still there but, the dimensions all ready '0'. Has anyone else had this problem?

some time i got some changes in project. but mostly it come that other TW user made some changes which give affect on model.
If your dimension is less than the setting for Linear Dimensions / Fractions the dimension will display as 0". It does not sound like this is your problem exactly but it could be related. Can you fix it by changing the Linear Dimension settings ?

Options-Project Preferences-Dimensions ?

It may also be that the same point got dimensioned twice.
You can check for that easily: click the point in the Dimension Chain to select it and delete it. If it was double-dimensioned, then the '0' will disappear as you delete one of the double dimension points.
