TechDraw DimensionRepair

Description
The TechDraw DimensionRepair tool can adjust the geometric references of dimensions. These references may become 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 the topological naming problem.

Usage

 * 1) Select the dimension to be corrected and, optionally, the new geometric references, vertices 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 geometric references.
 * 6) Select new geometric references if you have not done so already.
 * 7) Press the  button.
 * 8) Press the  button to update the dimension.

The TechDraw DimensionRepair tool cannot used in macros or from the Python console. Dimension reference properties can be updated using Python.
