Modifying Coordinate Dimensions

You can modify the specific properties of a coordinate dimension.

Important:

Use style values to create new objects in Style, will affect coordinate dimension created before R18:

  • When this option is selected the description information will not be set and the resulting coordinate dimension will follow the old display.
  • When this option is not selected the value available in the Numerical Properties will be used.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape with an existing coordinate dimension.
