For editing parameters of a group of selected dimensions, use the option:
Set selected Element(s) parameters
First, select the set of parameters to be modified, in the dialog box that comes up on the screen. The standard
dimension parameter dialog box will follow, allowing to define new parameter values. To define color, later,
level and priority, one can also use the system toolbar. The option helps copying parameters from
another existing dimension.
Remember, that a number of dimension settings are defined by default, which can be changed in the
command “ST: Set Model Status”.
One can also enter the dimension editing command directly from the command “D: Create dimension”,
using the option:
Execute Edit Dimension command
The third way of selecting a dimension for editing is available, when the system is in the command-waiting
mode. Move the pointer over the dimension to be modified, and click . As a result, editing of the selected
dimension begins. Besides, one can select the dimension and right click . The coming up context menu
provides the commands for editing, deleting and modifying properties of the selected dimension.
Working with dimensions in the 3D window
When using the 3D version of the system, you can create dimensions, just as well as leader notes and
roughness symbols, in the 3D window, on the faces of the 3D model. This allows you to create fully
functional three-dimensional drawings.
The parameters of such dimensions are automatically passed to the dimensions created in the 2D window on
the respective lines of a 2D projection of a given model.
