Fix for linear dimensions |
When dimensioning, the reference line can start at a certain distance from the datum. You can fix both the length of the reference lines and the gap between the datum and the beginning of the reference line. To do this, select the corresponding option from the drop-down list and enter the value in the field on the right. Only integer values for the length (gap) are allowed. •If you want the set number to define the gap between the reference line and the size anchor point, select the option Gap of leader lines. •If the value entered is to determine the length of the remote line, select the option Leader lines length. If the set value in the field is zero, the distance lines start at the size anchor points and can be of any length. |
