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. The Dimension Repair task panel opens showing the selected dimension and the current geometric references.
  4. Select new geometric references if you have not done so already.
  5. Press the Replace References with Current Selection button.
  6. Press the OK button to update the dimension.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

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