TechDraw DimensionRepair/en

Description
The TechDraw DimensionRepair tool can adjust the 2D or 3D geometry references of a dimension. These references may become incorrect due to the "topological naming problem" or Hidden Line Removal.

See TechDraw LengthDimension for more on dimensions and the topological naming problem.

Usage

 * 1) Select the dimension to be corrected and, optionally, the new geometry references, points or edges, in the TechDraw View or in the 3D view.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the tool:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) The  task panel opens showing the selected dimension and the current geometry references.
 * 6) Select new geometry references if you have not done so already.
 * 7) Press the  button.
 * 8) Press the  button to update the dimension.
 * 9) If 3D references have been selected: optionally change the  property of the dimension to.
