Creating Hole Coordinate Dimensions

Creating Hole Coordinate Dimensions

This section explains how to create hole coordinate dimensions.
[Hole] of coordinate dimensions display the X and Y coordinate values of holes in a projected view from an arbitrary reference point.
You can also select points on shapes, not just holes.


Procedure:

[1] Click [Hole] in the [Coordinate Dimension] of [Annotation] tab.

[2] Left-click in the drawing to assign Origin point (Base Point).
Notes
The clicked position in the drawing becomes the reference point. You can select any point, regardless of whether it is on a shape.


[3] Left-click on holes or points on shapes in the projected view to display their coordinates.
You can continue selecting points to create multiple dimensions.
Warning
Be careful not to click empty areas of the drawing, as a hole coordinate dimension will still be created even if there is no actual geometry.

[4] Press the [Esc] key or [Enter] key on your keyboard to finish the command.
