Benefits and Description
Dynamic dimension repositioning in 3D drawings is consistent with dynamic dimension repositioning in 2D drawings. Actions for dynamic dimension repositioning are listed below:
- Select the dimension text and move it in any direction within the annotation plane.
- Snap dimension text to the center of witness lines.
- Snap a dimension line to be aligned with adjacent dimension lines.
- Press and hold Shift while dragging the dimension text to lock the dimension line in place and move only the dimension text.
- Select the dimension line to move the entire dimension without altering the relative position of the text.
- Right-click witness lines to add jogs or breaks.
- Press and hold Shift while dragging the end of a witness line to snap it to a reference.
Dynamic dimension positioning saves you time by reducing the number of clicks needed to position dimension annotations.
