Angular Dimensions (ADIMs) no longer need to have their origin defined, if it can be deduced from the vectors defined by their first two dimension points. Typically these are directions defined by P-lines but they can also be defined by P-points.
For example, the figure shows an Angular Dimension with its origin defined implicitly by the intersection of the two Dimension directions, which are P-lines of SCTNs.
This Angular Dimension could be created by typing the following commands, starting at Layer level:
|
NEW ADIM |
Create new Angular Dimension element |
|
FROM DIR IDPL @ TO DIR IDPL @ |
Use cursor to pick P-lines defining the first and second Dimension Directions. |
|
DPOS @ |
Use cursor to pick a Sheet position through which the Dimension Arc will pass. |
For further information, please refer to the DRAFT User Guide, section 12.6 Angular Dimensions, which has been extensively revised.
