Creating Radial Dimensions

  • Last UpdatedDec 08, 2025

The RDIM is defined by the ON command plus optional AKEY syntax, for example:

NEW RDIM

- create RDIM element

ON ID @

- use cursor to define dimension centre

AKEY RADI

- change AKEY to give a radius dimension

In many cases it will be unnecessary to define AKEY explicitly, since the DIAM setting will give a sensible result.

Although RDIM elements do not have p-point or p-line attributes it is possible to use p-point or p-line syntax to select the Design element. This is necessary for vertices (VERT, SEVE, PAVE) that cannot be picked directly by cursor. However, the Design element can be picked using the IDP @ command.
