Fix for linear dimensions

When dimensioning, the reference line can start at a certain distance from the snap point.

You can fix both the length of the leader lines and the gap between the snap point and the start of the leader line. To do this, select the corresponding option from the drop-down list and enter the value in the field on the right.

Only whole length (gap) values are permitted.

If you want the set number to define the gap between the distance line and the size anchor point, select the Gap of leader lines option.

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.
