7.16.3.1.  Mandatory parameters

[Note]Note

To edit the parameters, first select the desired dimensioning.

Each dimensioning must contain the following parameters:

  • ID

    ID is only required if a dimensioning serves as the base dimension [Base dimension] for a subsequent dimensioning.

  • Description

    The description text is displayed at the top of the list. Initially, a description is automatically assigned when a new dimensioning is created, but you can customize this as required.

  • Type

    When creating a new dimensioning, HORIZONTAL appears automatically. Adjust the selection in the list field to RADIAL. You can change the type at any time.

    [Note]Note

    The selection fields are only updated after clicking on Save changes are updated.

  • Views

    Activate the checkbox for the desired 2D views on which the dimensioning is to be displayed.

    Select the desired views in the list box.

    Select the desired views in the list box.

    Views that contain a dimensioning can be recognized in the 3D toolbar by a corresponding icon with a dimensioning line .

  • Connection point

    The center of the circle of the radial dimensioning is used as the connection point [Connection point].

    (The measuring distance [see next point] determines, where the arrow is visibly inserted.

    1. Click on the desired connection point in the 3D view.

      -> This is marked in red now.

    2. Click in the input field of the point.

    3. Paste the point name from the clipboard into the input field using Ctrl+V.

      Enter the connection point [Connection point] using Ctrl+V

      Enter the connection point [Connection point] using Ctrl+V

      Alternatively, you can select the point in the context menu.

      Selection of the connection point [Connection point] in the context menu

      Selection of the connection point [Connection point] in the context menu

  • Measuring distance

    The measuring distance [Measuring distance] is the starting point of the arrowhead (usually the radius of the circle, otherwise the arrow will float in the air)

    Specify a fixed value or better a variable.

  • Offset length

    Specify a fixed value or better a variable

  • Angle of arrow

    e.g. 45 (only insertion of the numerical value)
