Contextual Menu of Dimension

Right-clicking a dimension invokes its contextual menu.

In addition to options common for all 2D elements, the contextual menu of a dimension may contain following items:

• Set Value
This command is available for any dimension. It invokes a dimension value input box in the drawing window. You can confirm or cancel input using buttons located at the right side of the input box. <Esc> button also cancels the input. See more in the Set Value section.

•Driving
This option might be unavailable for some dimensions. When it's enabled , the dimension is a driving dimension, which defines positions of drawing elements.

•Auxiliary
This option might be unavailable for some dimensions. When it's enabled ,  the dimension is an auxiliary dimension, which is not printed.

•Change Direction
This command is available for a driving dimension, which define a distance between two drawing elements. Calling the command switches the direction of distance application to an opposite one in relation to the first element, so the position of the second element and its dependents changes.

•Fix Direction
This command is available for a driving dimension, which define a distance between two drawing elements. When it's enabled , the direction of distance application in relation to the first element stays remains the same upon further parametric recalculations of drawing.

 

Moreover, dimensions alignment options can be available in the contextual menu.
