Thank you Edi, Yes part is assembled in this file. So Will I have to live with this issue or is there any solution ? Many thanks.
Re: In Techdraw, Dimensions getting changed after changing view scale to 2:1 from 1:1.
So I guess that TechDraw isn't scaling himself, it uses a scaled model and derives a drawing from it. Then this issue can occur with native FreeCAD objects as well.edi wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 1:01 pm It is a kind of the 'topo naming problem'. If the part has scale 1.0 the upper circle (diameter 16) is Edge34. After changing the scale to 2.0 the same circle is Edge26. The dimension keeps connected to Edge34.
I think it happenes, because your part has been imported from somewhere (a2plus ?) and therefore is a foreign object for TechDraw.

Re: In Techdraw, Dimensions getting changed after changing view scale to 2:1 from 1:1.
I recommend generating technical drawings in three steps:
1. create all drawings (views, sections, details) in the required scale and position them in the template.
2. add additional objects (center lines, cosmetic threads etc.)
3. add dimensions, annotations etc.
If you respect this 3 step rule your issue will not occure
Nevertheless a question: Why do you need A2Plus to create a single part? It can be done in Part-WB or PartDesign-WB.

Thanks Edi for the Steps, I wanted the model file to contain only the solid geometry, so assembled into a new file and created all the required drawing items in this separate file.edi wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 12:56 pmI recommend generating technical drawings in three steps:

This effect is somethink very basic and has nothing to do with a2plus or similar. I've described it in my post where there are no responses to yet:

Obviously names of objects are reorganitzed after changes and this brings the references of the dimensions into trouble.

Related, if create a techdrawing with a scale of 2:1, make it all nice, add dimensions, they show the expected (real) dimensions. If I then export to dxf, and open the file in qcad/librecad, and add a new dimension there, the new dimension is doubled. See eg:
I don't believe that should be the case?
