In addition to the attributes described in the previous section there are further attributes which control the appearance of the dimension, which are also used by Linear and Angular Dimensions (see Angular Dimensions) and Dimension Points. These attributes will be cascaded down from the owning LAYE. The attribute setting DEFAULT is not available for Radial Dimensions.
The general attributes are:
The Dimension Terminator attribute DTER - see Detail Attributes of Linear Dimensions for further information.
The Terminator Size attribute TSIZ - see Detail Attributes of Linear Dimensions for further information.
The Dimension Line Style and Colour attributes (DLSTYLE, DLCOLOUR) control the appearance of the dimension and leader lines. The initial values are cascaded down from LAYE level. See Colors and Styles for further information of colours and line styles.
The Gaps array attribute GAPS - an array of user-defined gaps; no gaps by default. The gaps defined in this array will be applied to the dimension- and leader lines of the Radial Dimension. This is in addition to the gap under the dimension text that is inserted automatically in the dimension line. See Detail Attributes of Linear Dimensions for further information. The command GAP TIDY deletes unused gaps.
Dimension Text will also have the following attributes, similar to those in use for LDIMs and ADIMs:
