Dimension Parameters

3-D Dimensioning + Text > Tools > Dimension

The layout of a dimensioning table can be customized down to the smallest detail.

Clicking the icon activates the Set parameters for new general dimension function.

Clicking opens the Dimension parameters menu. The following functions are available:

Active drawing
	Parametric dimensions Settings for parametric dimensions of the active drawing. Selecting the function opens the Parametric dimensions dialogue window.
	HCM dimensions Settings for HiCAD Constraint Manager Dimensions (see also Parametrics), active drawing. Selecting the function opens the Parametric dimensions dialogue window.
	Same as reference dimension Adopts the settings from an existing dimension as the new default setting for the active drawing. Identify the dimension you want to use as the new default setting.
Manage
	Load parameters Use this function to load your user configuration from the Configuration Editor. If such a configuration does not exist, the predefined ISD configuration (at Drawing > Annotations > Dimensioning, 3-D) or the configuration predefined by your Administrator will be loaded. These settings will then be the new default settings for the functions of the Dimension Parameters menu.
	Save parameters Use this function to save the current parameter settings of the Dimension Parameters menu. The data will be saved to the configuration database (ISD ConfigEditor.exe).
Parameters
Change parameters Changes the parameters of existing dimensions.
Same as reference dimension Assigns the parameters of a selected dimension, the so-called "reference dimension", to an existing dimension.

Please note:

The ISD default settings are defined in the Configuration Editor (ISDConfigEditor.exe), at ... > Drawing > Annotations > Dimensioning, 3-D > Interactive dimensions.
The settings specified under Active drawing apply to the current HiCAD session, as long as you specify any different settings. If you want to use the settings permanently, save the settings with theSave parameters function for a later re-use. The parameters will be directly saved to the Configuration Editor.
