Eamonn Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hello, when I dimension something the actual numbers appear above the line. For tidiness/presentation I drag each box down on to the line. Is there a way to preset this up so that the box/numbers are always on the box? Also are there ways to preset dimension preferences. eg... The leader lines are removed, decimal places, etc... Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Yes in the Dimension Tool click on the 'Dim Std' drop down then 'Custom Standards...' + in the 'Custom Dimensions' dialog click on 'New...' to create a new Custom Dimension Standard then click on 'Edit...' to open the 'Edit Custom Dimension Standard' dialog where you can set things up exactly as you want them, including having the text on the line Also look at Document Settings>Units 1 Quote Link to comment
Eamonn Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Thanks, that's great. Is there a way to save my new Dim Standard to all furture drawings? I only ask because I opened a new document and my new "Dim Std" was not available. I would like for it to be always available going forward. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) You can import a dim std from one file into another file but best thing is to save it in a template file then it's always there when you open the template Edited December 18, 2021 by Tom W. Quote Link to comment
Eamonn Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Great, thanks again. I will set up a template file.👍 Quote Link to comment
