Linear from Baseline Combined |
Scroll |
A linear from baseline combined is a group of simple linear dimensions with coinciding first snap points and dimension lines located in a special way.
Parameters are set separately for each dimension in the group. If all dimensions must have the same parameters (e.g. arrows of a certain type), call the Remember setting command from the 
button menu in the Parameters Panel header. You will see a tick mark next to the command name, and selected parameters will be stored for subsequent dimensions.
Dimensions included in the group are independent objects. They can be selected, edited and removed separately.
To create a group of linear dimensions from baseline combined, follow these steps.
1.Invoke the Linear with an overall dimension line command 
.
2.Set a base point – the first snap point for all dimensions in the group. The first extension line for all dimensions will start in this point.
3.Set the second snap point for the first dimension in the group.
In the graphic region, a phantom of dimension will appear.
4.Determine position of the dimension line for all dimensions in the group using the Type group of buttons:
Horizontal — a dimension line parallel to the OX axis of the current coordinate system,
Vertical — a dimension line parallel to the OY axis of the current coordinate system.

You can select the dimension type (horizontal or vertical) only before the first dimension in the group is fixed. |
5.Edit the dimension text for the first dimension, if necessary. To start working with the dimension text, press any alphanumeric key. See section on editing the dimension label...
6.Set the number of decimal places in the dimension text. Details...
7.Set a dimension tolerance. Details...
8.Set up additional dimension parameters, if required: arrow display parameters, etc. Details...
9.Set the point defining the dimensional line location. This position will be the same for all dimensions in the group.
10.Specify a sequence of second snap points of the other dimensions in the group. Configure dimension parameters, if required. You can configure a dimension until the second snap point is specified.
