TechDraw DimensionRepair

Description
The Dimension Repair tool is used to adjust the reference points of dimensions. These references may be rendered incorrect due to the "topological naming problem" or Hidden Line Removal. The tool can correct references based on 2d or 3d geometry.

See TechDraw LengthDimension for more on dimensions and topological naming.

Usage

 * 1) Select the dimension to be corrected and, optionally, the new reference Vertices or Edges on the View or in the 3D view.
 * 2) Press the  button or
 * 3) A dialog will be presented showing the dimension being repaired and the current reference geometry (or the preselected geometry).
 * 4) Select the replacement geometry and press the "Use current selection" button.
 * 5) The dimension will be updated on pressing OK.
