Dimension Creation
- Dimension following the cursor (CTRL toggles)
- Defines whether the dimension line is positioned according to the cursor,
following it dynamically during the creation process.
By default, this check box is cleared. - Default dimension line/geometry distance
- Defines the value at which the dimension is created from the geometry. If
you create associativity between the dimension and the geometry, you can
define the value at which the dimension will remain positioned. By default, the distance is 5 mm.
- Dimension line following the geometry
-
Select this check box to maintain the positions of the dimensions with respect to the geometry.
By default, this check box is cleared. - Keep angle range
- Select this check box to specify whether the angle dimensions must maintain their
respective angle type (acute, obtuse, or reflex). By default, this check box is cleared.
- By default create dimensions on circle's or cylinder's or revolute's
- Defines the default dimension anchor point position on the selected geometry
of revolution:
Select the desired option:
- Center or Axis
- The dimension anchor point will be positioned on its center point or its axis of revolution.
- Edge
- The dimension anchor point will be positioned on its edge. By default,
Center or Axis is selected.
Move
- Snap value between symbols(SHIFT toggles)
- Snaps the dimension value between symbols. By default, this check box is selected.
- Move only selected sub-part
- Defines whether only a dimension sub-part (text, line, etc) will be moved.
By default, this check box is cleared.
Line-Up
- Default offset to reference
- Defines the default distance and angle from the reference element.
0 mm and 0 deg.
- Default offset between dimensions
- Defines the default distance and angle between dimensions.
10 mm and 15 deg.
- Align stacked dimension values
- Defines whether the value positions of a group of stacked dimensions are
aligned on the value position of the smallest dimension of the group. By default, this check box is cleared.
- Align cumulated dimension values
- Defines whether the value positions of a group of cumulated dimensions are
aligned on the value position of the smallest dimension of the group. By default, this option is selected.
- Automatically add a funnel
- Defines whether the value of a cumulated dimension requires a
funnel added automatically to be displayed correctly.
Warning: Only applicable when Align cumulated dimension values is selected.
By default, this check box is selected.
Dimension related to an origin
- Use Dimension Origin Symbol
- Defines whether the dimension origin symbol is used. By default, this check box is selected.
