Function Description: The DIMTOFL system variable is used to control whether to draw dimension line between extension lines (even if the dimension text has placed outside of extension line). Type : Parameter Saved in : Drawing Initial value : Off... Read More

Have you tried to annotate your isometric drawings? How about dimensions and text, is it appear properly? No it‟s not. The drawing looks isometric, but not the annotations. So how can you create isometric annotations? Isometric Text First, create... Read More

The placement of dimension text, arrowheads and leader lines relative to the dimension and extension lines can be organized. Fit Dimension Text Within Extension Lines If enough space is available, dimension text and arrowheads will be shown between... Read More

Linear, angular, radial, ordinate and arc length are the basic types of dimensions. You can create dimensions for selected existing entities by selecting them or picking points within a drawing. Linear dimensions can be horizontal, vertical, aligned,... Read More

The DIMBASELINE command is used to create a linear dimension, angular dimension or coordinate dimension by the baseline of last dimension or specified dimension. Command Access: Ribbon : Annotation > Dimension > DIMBASELINEMenu : 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

The STATUS command is used to display drawing statistical information, modes and ranges. Command Access: Menu : Tools > Inquiry > Status Command : STATUS Command Prompts: Press ENTER to continue: Function Description: All coordinates and spaces... Read More

Function Description: The DIMTOFFSET system variable is used to control the gap between the dimension line and the dimension text, if the space above the arrows is not enough for the dimension text when you place the dimension below or right the... Read More

Function Description: The DIMTVP system variable is used to control the vertical position for dimension text above or below the dimension line. Type : Real Saved in : Drawing Initial value : 0.0000 It uses the DIMTVP value when the DIMTAD is off. The... Read More
