An angular dimension is a graphic object defined by four points: the vertex of the angle, the point of origin of the first extension line, the point of origin of the second extension line, the point that specifies the height of the dimension line.
Value
Specify the dimension value or choose Automatic to automatically read the dimension value.
Text
Specifies the dimension text. Leave this field blank to use the format specified in the style or directly specify the format.
- Format
-
A string with the format of the dimension text must be specified in the box. The format string consists of zero or more directives and common characters. A directive is formed by the character '@' followed by a character that determines the substitution that must take place. All common characters are copied unchanged. The directives are as follows:
@V
Specifies the location where the dimension value is to be inserted.
@U
Specifies the location where the unit of measure is to be inserted.
@T
Specifies the position at which tolerance values are to be inserted.
Example:
If the value of the dimension is 10 and the unit of measurement is in millimetres, the following format strings will produce the following text string:
R.@V -> R.10
@V@U -> 10mm
Tolerance
Specify the tolerance values or choose From Style to use the values set in the style.
- Mode
-
Select None to not enter tolerance values. Select Absolute to have absolute tolerance specifications; the tolerance values will be added to the value of the quota. Select Relative to have relative tolerance specifications; in this case the tolerance values will be preceded by the sign.
- Positive
-
Specify the positive tolerance value.
- Negative
-
Specify the negative tolerance value.
Style
Select the dimension style from the proposed list or create a new style. See Style of Dimension objects.
Center
Specify the coordinates of the corner center.
- X
-
Specify the horizontal position.
- Y
-
Specify the vertical position.
Start
Specify the distance from the center and the angle that the first extension line forms with respect to the x-axis in the fields Distance and Angle.
End
Specify the distance from the center and the angle that the second extension line forms with respect to the x-axis in the fields Distance and Angle.
Height
Specify the height of the dimension line.
