    • Press the Cascade Horizontal Dimensions button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Attributes/Modifications → Cascade Horizontal Dimensions option from the menu.
  5. The dimensions are evenly spaced and their dimension texts are centered.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The tool can also be used to center the dimension text of a single dimension.
