Uli Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Does the dimension class has any "advantages" apart from assigning any created dimensions to it or is a just a normal class like any other? Regards Uli Edited August 25, 2009 by Uli Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Uli, The Dimension Class really has no advantages over any other class. It is one that is automatically created along with the "None" class. Dimensions will automatically be placed there but you CAN move them to a class of your choosing. Hope this helps Wes Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 FWIW, it used to be (version 9?) that if either of those two classes (none, dimension) were deleted it would wreak havoc with the file. Not sure what happens in the current version as I have been afraid/superstitious ever since... P Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Peter, I don't think one can delete these classes now. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 do NOT delete, or rename the None and Dimension classes. In later versions, you can not delete these, bit do not rename them, it will cause trouble Quote Link to comment
Uli Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thank you for the input I will keep my hands off these classes. Quote Link to comment
blimey Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 What kind of trouble? We've always renamed them... no problem reported though??? Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have used ADDITIONAL Dimension Classes such as Framing Dimensions Dimension for Plumbing Rough-In, Dimension for Electrical Rough-In, etc.. I?ve also done phasing dimensions. Depending on the complexity of a project, this method can be beneficial to clearly show a specific trade which dimensions pertain to him/her. Once again, for me it?s all about making it as clear as possible for the contractor to build it (hopefully the FIRST time) Quote Link to comment
