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" 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 Dimension Repair button or TechDraw → Repair Dimension References
  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.

Properties

Dimension Repair does not introduce any new properties.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The Dimension Repair tool is not used in macros or from the Python console. Dimension reference properties can be updated using Python.
