•Parallel, above line,

•Parallel, in line break,

•Horizontally, in the line break.

It is displayed for all dimensions, except for combined – linear from baseline and angular from datum.

Branches

This group of buttons can be used to select how branches are created for simple radial dimensions:

•From Landing Start,

•From Landing End.

These buttons only affect newly created branches. You cannot change the construction method for the existing branch.

If dimension on the landing is set to one circle (i.e. it has no branches), these buttons do not affect how it is displayed.

Zigzag angle

Use this field to set zigzag angle for a dimension line when jogged radial dimension is set. You can select the angle value the predefined list or enter it manually. The value you enter will be in the list until the session is over.

Pointer

from Text to Arc

It’s available when arc dimension is set.
