Note, that when using the option , a node will be
found nearest to pointer, and the dimension will be fixed
in the position next to the node. Now, when modifying
this node position, the dimension will be adjusting
accordingly. After that, one can click , completing the
dimension creation.
However, one can use the option or
again. This will position the leader line extension.
Using the option third time ties the leader jog to the
node. This is the final step in dimension creation, since
there are no more options for tying the dimension. Instead
of one can use . In that case, the dimension will be
created without a tie to a node.
The third subsequent use of the option
causes creation of the leader jog attached to the center of
the leader line.
After that, the position of the leader jog can be fixed by
clicking or typing , if the jog needs to be tied to a
node.
The fourth subsequent use of will switch
dimension into “invisible leader” mode. There will be no
leader lines but text will remain and will behave like if it
is located on a leader. This mode allows locating text in
arbitrary place.
The fifth subsequent use of reverts the dimension to the original state.
Note, that use of options and is recommended, when you want to strictly define the
dimension position through parametric modifications of the drawing. When modifying positions of the nodes
to which the dimension strokes are tied, the dimension position will be changing accordingly. To break a tie
to a node, use the option .
