Text/Dimensioning Direction

These functions define a direction, according to which the program will perform dimensioning or set the text direction. Select a direction alternative from the auxiliary function menu which opens by right-clicking.

  • x-axis direction
  • y-axis direction
  • z-axis direction
  • x, y, z axis direction
  • direction with 2 points
  • direction of line

x-axis direction

The program adds text/dimension parallel to the x axis if the distance between the selected points is > 0. Otherwise, the program dimensions it as the distance between two points.

y-axis direction

The program adds text/dimension parallel to the y axis if the distance between the selected points is > 0. Otherwise, the program dimensions it as the distance between two points.

z-axis direction

The program adds text/dimension parallel to the z axis if the distance between the selected points is > 0. Otherwise, the program dimensions it as the distance between two points.

x, y and z-axis direction

The position of the dimensioning direction/text is defined by the greatest distance of the x, y or z-axis direction between the points to be dimensioned.

Direction formed by two points

The position of the dimensioning direction/text is defined by the direction formed by the two points selected for the dimension/text.

Line Direction

Direction is defined by the direction formed by the two points selected for the dimension/text.
