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 | |
|
Settings for parametric dimensions of the active drawing. Selecting the function opens the Parametric dimensions dialogue window. |
|
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 | |
|
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. |
|
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 | |
|
Changes the parameters of existing dimensions. |
|
|
Assigns the parameters of a selected dimension, the so-called "reference dimension", to an existing dimension. |
|
Please note:
The current settings of the Set parameters for new dimensions function are saved together with the drawing, i.e. in the corresponding SZA file, when a drawing is saved. When the drawing is loaded again, these parameters will then automatically be active.
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.
