Modifying Dimension Lines

If dimension and extension lines are crowded or overlapped, you can:

• Break an extension or dimension line.

• Slant an extension line.

• Stagger an extension line.

• Reset an extension or dimension line.

Any breaks and staggers you make to a dimension line are retained until either:

• The dimension line is reset with the Reset command.

• The location of the dimension is moved to within the range of the break or stagger.

Reattach the dimension	Click the square-shaped handle where the dimension is attached to the element and drag.

Change the Handle settings in Setup > Edit Environment > System > Handles tab.
