lswdw Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 i was doing a script palettes for dimension and text. i hvae no problem with text but for dimension, i cannot seem to find the setting for the text offset. it doesn't make sense to manually change the offset. it's frustrating!

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 30, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 30, 2004 The text offset is part of the dimension style. It's in the illustrated dialog. Quote Link to comment
canuck07 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Go to "File" Go to "Preferences" Go to "Document Preferences" Click on the "Dimensions" tab You can modify your dimension styles all you want in there. Quote Link to comment
lswdw Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 thanks...but where is the text offset in the document preferences. all it has in the dimension tab is the associate dimension and slash.... ans where is the illustrated dialog ? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 30, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 30, 2004 Look at the topic, "Using Custom Dimension Standards" in the online VectorWorks help. Quote Link to comment
RAFA Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 you have to create your own custom dimention and to do that you need to go file, preferences, document preferences, dimension, and then custom and from there you either create NEW or just pick one of the CUSTOM ones and go edit and you will c it all in the next window. now this will let you edit everything except for the text size and line thickness and text offset for this you need to go to file, preferences and then SET DIMENSION TOOL PREFERENCES. and in there you can only change 3 things: text offset, line thickness and text size, hope this solves your problem. rafa Quote Link to comment
