Dimension

The Dimension part of the MDS Support Defaults window allows you to select and modify dimension settings for the support location.

Select the Draw Dimension check box to create a dimension at each support location.

The functionality available from the Dimension part of the MDS Support Defaults window is similar to that available from the Dimension Defaults window. Refer to Dimensions for further information. The Dimension part of the MDS Support Defaults window differs from the Dimension window in that it does not have the Drawing Type and Dimension drop-down lists.

By default the dimension offset is set exactly to the value specified. However, if the dimensioned HVAC or CWAY elements have a large difference in width, some dimension offsets may be too small and overlap the graphics. You can solve this by choosing to set the dimension offset to the value specified plus a factor value dependant upon the width of each HVAC or CWAY main.
