Scroll |
In KOMPAS-3D, you can create the following types of marks:
•Mark/reference designation without leader,
•mark/reference designation with leader,
•mark/reference designation on line.
For precise cursor positioning and parameter setting during construction, you can use Snaps and geometrical calculator.

Examples of mark/reference symbol with the leader line
To create a mark/reference symbol on the line, do the following actions.
1.Run the Mark/reference symbol on the line 
command.
After invoking the command, the cursor will take the shape of a square "trap".
|
The size of the cursor’s trap can be changed in the dialog for setting up the cursor. |
2.Indicate the object to place a mark (the outline of a part, the leader line of a dimension, etc.). Its name will appear in the Object field on the Parameter Panel. In the graphic region, a symbol phantom will appear.
3.Enter the text of mark/reference symbol. To that end, click in the Text field on the Parameter Panel, or press any of the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. The Add Text subprocess will be started. In the graphic region, a table for input of symbol text will appear. Details...

6.Select the placement of mark by pressing the required button in the Location group:
Above Line,
Below line,
In Line Break.
The position of mark can also be changed by moving the cursor. At the same time, switching between the options of placement of mark is performed.
7.Specify the point determining the position of mark on the selected object. After that, creation of symbol automatically ends.
If the point is specified outside an object, then the position of mark is determined by a projection of the set point onto the object or its continuation. In this case, the object (except arcs of ellipses, NURBS, conic curves, and Bezier curves) automatically extend to the required distance with a thin line.
8.To complete operation of the command, click the Complete .
