    The dimension line is not going up to the terminator endpoint

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): MICROSTATION
      Version(s): 08.05.02.15
      Environment:  N\A
      Area:  Dimensions

    Problem

    The dimension line is not going up to the terminator endpoint when
    placing a dimension.

    Product: MicroStation V8 2004 Edition
    Version: 08.05.02.15
    Area: Dimension/Measure

    Solution

    The problem is due to a setting in a DWG dimension setting that was
    maintained when the DWG was saved to a dgn.

    In order to resolve this issue the following key-in needs to be used:

    mdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setBoolIntProp (dgnDim
    Style_getActiveFromModelRef (0), VALUE, FLAG)

    Where:
    VALUE = 1 ON, 0 OFF
    FLAG = 717 arrow, 718 Dot, 719 Origin, 720, Stroke

    If the value is set to 0, the dimension line will run up to the end of
    the terminator. If this is set to 1, the dimension line will run up to
    the start of the terminator and leave a gap.
