Edit a Dimension Added with Automatic Dimensioning

You can edit a dimension added by means of automatic dimensioning, in the following ways.

  • Move Dimension

    Move a Dimension or Text

  • Edit the dimension properties

    Edit Dimension Properties

  • Delete an individual dimension

    Delete an Element

    Deleting an automatic dimension moves the dimension to a hidden layer. The visibility of the dimension will not be restored even if the projection is updated.

  • Delete all automatically added dimensions

     Do as follows:

  1. From the model drawing, select a projection to which the dimensions have been added by means of automatic dimensioning.
  2. Select the context-sensitive function Properties.
  3. On the General tab of the dialog box, under Automatic Dimensioning, remove the selection Enabled.
  4. Click OK.

    Projection Properties – General

Note:
  • Disabling automatic dimensions actually deletes the dimensions from the drawing. You can use this function to reset the situation, if problems appear in updating the dimensions. After that, you can read the dimensions automatically.
