    Dimstyle using a terminator with a symbol cell

      Product: MicroStation
      Version: V8i
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Dimensions
      Subarea:

    Dim Styles

    Problem Description

    This is an issue where 2 dimension terminators have been created, one with a symbol cell and one without, in a V8 DGN file.

    When using Place Note, the terminator with the symbol appears thinner than the standard terminator.

    The Unit settings in both the Dim Styles are the same.

    Reason

    This issue relates to the terminator cell scale height being unchecked (if ' Uniform Cell Scale ' is selected both are the same).

    The issue can also be seen to be due to the graphics that make up the two cells, they have a different height.


     

    Steps to Resolve

    To resolve the issue, you can either change the cells height to be equal.

    In this example the tilde was scaled to match the arrows height and created a new cell.
