DIMENSION

Purpose:

To enable a user to create and layout the comprehensive dimensioning that is required in a two-dimensional drawing.

Instructions:

The user can select any one of the available sub-functions within this group in order to create and add the types of dimensioning that are available within that sub-function. More than one sub-function may be employed in order to create the full dimensioning details that are needed on an individual drawing and the sequence of usage of the sub-functions, and of the optional capabilities within them, is at the discretion of the user.

Options:

The only options are to select the required sub-function from within the menu that is presented at the top of the screen. Dimensioning in 2D offers the following functions:

• Linear

• Radius

• Diameter

• Angle

• Curve length

• Area

• Distance (2 points)

Dimensioning in 3D offers the following functions:

• Linear

• Axis Parallel

• Coordinate

• Curve Length

• Weight and COG

• Shell Profile Mounting Angle

• Distance to RSO

• Distance to Plane

Result:

Complete dimensioning can be added to the graphic display and in the associated drawing file, and with the system automatically extracting the required numeric dimensions from the actual geometry of the stored graphic items.
