Description

The TechDraw ExtensionCascadeObliqueDimension tool evenly spaces oblique dimensions.

On the right the evenly spaced oblique dimensions

Usage

  1. The spacing is determined by ...?
  2. Select the first oblique dimension. This dimension will not be moved, the dimensions that are added to the selection will be positioned relative to this dimension.
  3. Add one or more parallel oblique dimensions in the correct order to the selection.
  4. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
  5. The dimensions are evenly spaced and their dimension texts are centered.

Notes

  • The tool can also be used to center the dimension text of a single dimension.
