Modifying Dimension Lines

You can change both the parameters and the position of dimension lines later.

Modifying the parameters of dimension lines

Modifying a dimension line always involves two steps:

1. Activate Modify Dim. Line and set the relevant dimension line parameters.
2. Select the dimension lines to which the parameters set are to apply.

Note: The settings for the extension lines are not used. To modify extension lines, use Mod Extension Line.

Modifying the parameters of dimension lines based on their initial settings

Modifying a dimension line in this manner always involves two steps:

1. Click the dimension line you want to modify with the right mouse button. On the shortcut menu, choose Properties.
   The dialog box with the parameters of the dimension line clicked opens.
2. Change the parameters as required and click OK to confirm.

Note: This way, you can also modify the parameters of an individual section or point of a dimension line (Section/Point tab).

Modifying the position of dimension lines

To modify the position of a dimension line, use Move Dimension Line. This moves the dimension line orthogonally. The associativity is retained.

Note: Moving a dimension line using the Move tool on the Edit toolbar causes the associativity to be lost unless you select both the dimension line and the dimensioned points.
