Create Dimensions with Leader Lines

Create Dimensions with Leader Lines

When adding dimensions to a projected view, dimensions may sometimes overlap with adjacent ones.


You can improve drawing readability by adding leader lines to the dimensions.


Procedure:

[1] Select the dimension, then click [Modify Dimension] in the [Annotation] tab.


[2] Instance menu appears at the bottom of the screen.

[3] From item 1, select [Text Position], and from item 2, select [Leader].


[4] Specify the new position for the dimension.


Notes
Arrows between adjacent dimensions can be made easier to read by changing them to solid dots (●) or none.
Warning
For vertical dimensions, it is not possible to rotate the dimension text vertically. Please keep this limitation in mind.
