According to GOST, centerlines should start and end with dashes. To meet this requirement, proportional change of dash lengths is performed while drawing lines.

If during calculation of the dash length the condition of falling the resultant value within the range set by the standard (5-30 mm) should be taken into account, select the Length auto determination option.

If it is required that the dash length does not exceed a certain value (regardless of the standard requirements), select the length not more than, mm option, and then enter or set – using a counter – the value of the maximum length.

5 – cross symbol size, mm

The field allows for setting the hatch lengths which form a cross in the object center on creation of the center designation in the form of a cross symbol. In all other cases, the length of central hatches will be determined by the system automatically.

Setup of the "cross" size also applies to the jogged radial dimension.
