During a mechanical design, we often need to change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add Linear Tensile function for the keyway on the step shaft. Add linear parameter   2. Add stretch action Click the... Read More

This function can not only manage overlapped lines, circles, Plines linear objects etc, but can also manage entire coincident blocks, texts, dimensions and regions .Moreover, remove does not simply mean delete, it judges by layer, color, line type... Read More

The DIMEDIT command is used to edit dimension text and extension line. Command Access: Ribbon : Annotation > Dimension > Oblique Menu : Dimension > ObliqueCommand : DIMEDIT Command Prompts: Enter type of dimension editing [Home/New/Rotate... Read More

The DIMBREAK command is used to break or restore dimension or extension line, when the dimension and extension line intersects or intersects with other objects. Command Access: Ribbon : Annotation >Dimension > DIMBREAKMenu:  Dimension >... Read More

Updates any other dimension(s) to the current dimension style you want to apply. Menu: Express>Dimension>Update Dimension Command Entry: DIMUPDATE Command line prompts as follows: Select a dimension for standard: Select a dimension as a base... Read More

The radius and diameters of arcs (ARC) and circles (CIRCLE) are annotated by Radial dimensions. Optionally centerlines or center marks can be included. DIMRADIUS measures the radius of an arc or circle. DIMDIAMETER measures the diameter of an arc... Read More

An ordinate dimension annotates the perpendicular distance from an origin or base point (the origin of the current UCS). Ordinate dimensions consist of an x- or y-coordinate and a leader. The ordinate dimension text is always aligned with the... Read More

The DIMJOGLINE command is used to add or remove a jog line in a linear or aligned dimension. Command Access: Ribbon : Annotation > Dimension > DIMJOGLINEMenu : Dimension > Jogged LinearCommand : DIMJOGLINE Command Prompts: Select dimension... Read More

Actually, limited to the demand of the material mechanics characteristics, keyway is only allowed to be placed on the central line. So, a horizontal movement is enough for keyway and the movement to other direction is not meaningful. Next we will... Read More
