Dimension Detail Parameters

Dimension demarcation parameters

Depending on the setting for dimension demarcation in the dimension parameter dialog window, the dialog window that appears for the dimension arrow parameters may vary.

		If a dimension demarcation is not selected, no other settings are possible.
		If an arrow is selected as the dimension demarcation, you have the option to configure the arrow length and width for the dimension demarcation parameter.
		If a circle is selected as the dimension demarcation, you have the option to configure the circle's radius for the dimension demarcation parameter. The Projection option refers to the overlap of the dimension line and the dimension chain.
		If a slash is selected as the dimension demarcation, you have the option to configure the slash length and the slash angle. The Projection option refers to the overlap of the dimension line and the dimension chain.
		If a slash is selected as the dimension demarcation, you have the option to configure the slash length and the slash angle. As the pen colour is configurable here too, you can select a thicker pen. The Projection option refers to the overlap of the dimension line and the dimension chain.

	Selection of font
	Dimension character height
	Dimension character width
	Dimension character pen type
	Dimension character angle
	Distance of dimension text from dimension line
	1: Dist. = 0;
	2: Dist. 50% Text height
	2.5: Dist. 75% Text height
	Character spacing
	Rotates the dimension text to the other side of the dimension help line
	How many digits after the decimal point
	If the QUERY TEXT option is switched on, you must enter the dimension text.
