T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

The selected dimension can be moved, tied to other drawing
elements or have its parameters modified, with respect to the
original settings. To do this, select the appropriate option in
the automenu.
The option allows you to modify orientation of the
leader extension of the dimension text.
Dimensions
The option changes orientation of angular dimension (i.e., the quarter of an angle on which the
dimension is drawn).
The option sets the mode of centering the dimension text. When pushed, the dimension text will be
automatically centered between the witness lines.
The option helps quickly changing the dimension value prefix (“R”, “∅”, “M”,“ ”, “ο”), without
calling the dimension parameters dialog box. The option serves for changing the reference elements
(lines, nodes) of the dimension being edited. The fixing position of the dimension created using the option
, can be changed by selecting two nodes.
Sometimes, it is necessary to change the witness line
attachment point. To do this, select the dimension at the
point of the intended origin node of the witness line,
and pick the option .
If a wrong dimension was selected, alter the selection
using the option .
The option or / , depending on dimension
type, allows changing its type without altering its
references.
The option allows changing the dimension type
without altering its references.
Note that if the dimension was tied to a node using the option , then to modify its fixing condition, first
use the option .
A selected dimension can be deleted using the option . Deleting chain dimensions or dimensions from
one base can be done separately for each dimension. Deleting the parent dimension (which is the dimension
between the first two lines) causes deletion of the whole dimension group. The same rule is used for ordinate
dimensions, created on one base: any dimension in the series, except the base one, is deleted as a separate
entitiy; when deleting the base dimension, all dependent dimensions are also deleted.
As in the case of other elements, multiple selection is done by the option , or using box selection or
clicking while holding down the key (for adding to the list of selected) or (for
excluding from the list of selected).
