Options of Creating Dimensions

When creating and editing dimensions, the Options tab of the Parameters tool window contains following checkboxes:

Show dialog for each created dimension.
Enabling this checkbox makes the dimension's parameters dialog automatically appear upon placing a dimension on a drawing.

This allows us to work as with the previous versions of T-FLEX CAD – first specify location of a dimension on the drawing and then specify its parameters.

 

Automatic alignment

If this checkbox is enabled (by default), then the system automatically places a value and arrows outside for small dimensions

Show toolbar with options

If this checkbox is enabled (by default), then manipulators and buttons for quick editing are displayed in drawing window upon hovering the cursor over a dimension

 

Create driving dimensions
Enabling this checkbox makes dimension a driving one.

Edit driving dimension value on creation
If this checkbox is enabled along with the Create driving dimensions, then you will be forced to type in a value upon placing a dimension on a drawing.

See more in the Driving Dimension section.

Defines, whether a dimension will belong to a particular drawing view or to a whole drawing page.
