Description

The TechDraw ExtensionCascadeVertDimension tool evenly spaces vertical dimensions.

On the right the evenly spaced vertical dimensions

Usage

  1. The spacing is determined by ...?
  2. Select the first vertical 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 vertical 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.
