Change Dimensioning Parameters

Change Parameters

2-D Dimensioning + Text > Edit > Settings > Change 

This function enables you to change the parameters of existing dimensionings.

1. First select the dimensioning identification type.

The following options are available:

• Individual
• Structure
• In rectangle
• Within contour
• Active part
• All (entire drawing).

2. Then change the parameters in the input window.
3. Then press OK to exit the window.

The Change all parameters? prompt appears. If you answer YES, all input window settings are applied; if you answer NO, only those parameters that have changed are applied.

4. Specify the procedure for changing parameters.
5. Now identify the dimensionings from the dimension figure.

 

Please note:

Changes made in the Position ref. to dim. figure perpendicular to dim. line area of the Dimension parameters dialogue (2-D Dimensioning + Text > Edit > Dimensioning settings > Parameters - Change) will only be preserved if a corresponding tolerance has been defined for the 2-D dimension. For new tolerances, the default settings will be applied.

• Upper tolerance will only take effect if the dimension has one upper tolerance (e.g. "+0,01")
• Lower tolerance will only take effect if the dimension has one lower tolerance (e.g. "-0,01")
• +/- tolerance will only take effect if the dimension has one +/- tolerance (e.g. "+-0,01")
• 2 tolerances will only take effect if the dimension has two tolerances (e.g. "+0,1 -0,05")

The first three tolerances correspond to the three upper buttons in the Tolerances dialogue that you can call via 2-D Dimensioning + Text > Edit > Aux.text > Tolerances. The fourth tolerance corresponds to the three buttons in the second row in the dialogue.

Parameters, Same as reference dimension

2-D Dimensioning + Text > Edit > Settings >Same as reference dimension

You use this function to apply the parameters of an existing dimensioning.

1. First select the identification type of the dimensioning.

The following options are available:

• Individual
• Structure
• In rectangle
• Within contour
• Active part
• All (entire drawing)

2. Now identify the reference dimensioning.
3. Identify the dimensioning
