Dimension 

This page deals with the options concerning:

Dimension Creation
Defines the dimension creation options:

Dimension following the cursor  (CTRL toggles)
Defines whether the dimension line is positioned according to the cursor, following it dynamically during the creation process or not.
By default, this option is not selected.

Constant offset between dimension line and geometry
Defines whether the distance between the created dimension and the geometry remains the same when you move the geometry or not.
By default, this option is not selected.

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 5mm.

Create dimensions on circle's or cylinder's or revolute's
Defines the default dimension anchor point position on the selected geometry of revolution:
  • 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, the Center or Axis option is selected.

Move
Defines the annotation move options:

Activate Snapping (SHIFT toggles)
Defines whether the dimension will be snapped .
By default, this option is not selected.
Additionally click the Configure... button. In the Configure snapping of dimension dialog box, specify whether the dimension should be snapped on the grid, or whether the dimension value should be located at its default position between symbols (it will work only if the cursor is between the symbols), or both.
This option is available when Activate Snapping (SHIFT toggles) option is selected.
By default, this On grid option is selected.

Move only selected sub-part
Defines whether only a dimension sub-part (text, line, etc.) will be moved.
By default, this option is not selected.

Line-Up
You can organize dimensions into a system with a linear offset. The offset will align the dimensions to each other as well as the smallest dimension to the reference element.

Default offset to reference

This allows you to set the offset between the smallest dimension and the reference element.

By default, the offset is 0 mm and 0 deg.

Default offset between dimensions

This allows you to set the offset between dimensions.

By default, the offset is 10 mm and 15 deg.

Align stacked dimension values
Defines whether the values of a group of stacked dimensions are aligned on the value of the smallest dimension of the group.
By default, this option is not selected.

Align cumulated dimension values
Defines whether the values of a group of cumulated dimensions are aligned on the value 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, available only if Align cumulated dimension values is selected.
By default, this option is selected.

Dimension related to an origin
Defines the dimension origin options:

Use Dimension Origin Symbol
Defines whether the dimension origin symbol is used.
By default, this option is selected.
