Align Part Numbers

General

  • If you want the drawing to look finished, the part numbers should be located, for example, in the same places horizontally and vertically.
  • This is possible both when adding part numbers and later as shown below.
  • You can align the part numbers of a drawing horizontally, vertically, or in a 45° angle.
  • Begin the organizing of the part numbers from the lowest number and proceed in numerical order to the greater numbers.

Move the Part Numbers to the Same Line

  1. Select Drawing | Dimensions | Fast Dimensioning > Move.
  2. Click the smallest part number in relation to which you want to place the next part number.
  3. Drag the smallest part number to the desired location and click it into place.
  4. Click the next number in numerical order.
  5. Drag it to the same horizontal or vertical line or 45° angle in relation to the previous number.
    • The program draws a guide line when you are close enough to the line.
  6. Click the selection button of the mouse on the guide line, and the part number will be locked on the line of the guide line.
  7. Slide the part number on the line to the desired position.
  8. Lock the part number's location by clicking.

Example:

  • Part numbers before moving

  • The numbers have been moved from 1 onwards, after which the numbers have been moved in numerical order.
  • In the figure, number 5 is locked in the same horizontal line as number 4 and is being slid into position.
