Description: 5 minutes. Lab exercises: 5 minutes
Ensure dimension stagger lines and breaks aren't lost when you modify geometry and dimension lines.
When
you create dimensions in your drawings, Annotation creates dimension and
extension lines that connect to the points on the drawing you are dimensioning.
Annotation allows you to stagger or break those dimension and extension lines to
make room visually for other elements in your drawing. However, these staggers
and breaks have behaved oddly or were completely lost when you tried to move
dimension lines or perform other geometric operations on them in the past.
OneSpace Designer Annotation 2005 now preserves stagger lines and breaks when you move or rotate a dimension.
The Move Dim, Move Text and Rotate Text commands were altered as part of this improvement to dimensioning. See online help for details.
In this exercise, you'll create stagger lines (steps 1-4), then drag your dimension to see how lines are retained even when the dimension is moved.
