Dimension Styles  

This section deals with dimension styles. These let you define the default values that will be used when creating different types of dimensions. 

 

Defining Dimension Styles

Dimension styles are located in the following nodes of the Standard Definition editor, available via Tools > Standards:

By default, a style called Default is available for each dimension style.

All parameters are taken into account both at creation time (i.e. when creating a dimension), and at modification time (i.e. when reapplying a style to a dimension).
