Usage

  1. Select several oblique dimensions (1) to (3).
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Align Oblique button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Extensions: Attributes/Modifications → Position Oblique Chain Dimension option from the menu.
  3. All selected dimensions are positioned in one line.


  • The first selected dimension (1) defines the line on which the dimension chain is positioned.
