TechDraw DimensionRepair

Description
The TechDraw DimensionRepair tool is used to adjust the reference points of dimensions. These references may be 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 reference Vertices or Edges in the 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) A dialog opens showing the selected dimension and the current reference geometry or the preselected replacement geometry.
 * 6) If required: select the replacement geometry.
 * 7) Press the  button.
 * 8) Press the  button to update the dimension.
