Dimension System Styles  

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

Defining Dimension System Styles

Dimension system 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 geometry style.

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

Dimensions System Styles

Parameter

Parameter Name

Description

Dimension lines alignment

Offset mode

Specifies the dimension lines alignment mode for stacked dimension systems:

  • Constant: the offset between dimensions of a system remain constant and equal to the value defined in the Offset between dimensions field.

  • Free: the dimensions of a system can be moved independently.

Offset between dimensions

Specifies the distance between two consecutive dimension lines for stacked dimension systems.

Dimension values alignment

Align cumulated dimension values

Specifies the dimension values alignment mode for cumulated dimension systems:

  • Reference line (value horizontal justification is edge)

  • Center (value horizontal justification is center)

  • Opposite (value horizontal justification is edge)

  • From standard

Values Offset

Specifies the distance between the alignment reference and the dimension value for cumulated dimension systems.

Align stacked dimension values

Specifies the dimension values alignment mode for stacked dimension systems:

  • Reference line

  • Center

  • Opposite

Values Offset

Specifies the distance between the alignment reference and the dimension value for stacked dimension systems.
