Dimension Styles - Dimension Type Specific Sub Styles (CAXA)


Malcolm Crowe

Recommended Posts

Within the Dimension Styles of CAXA DRAFT it's possible to create "Dimension Type Specific Sub Styles". In the attached video I have created a sub style for Diameter and another sub style for Radius. In each of these sub styles I've turned off the "Dimension Line Between Extension Lines".

When the parent Dimension Style (Standard 025) is set to current, those sub styles within it will be applied to their specific geometry. This eliminates the need for manually toggling off the Dimension Line afterwards, when dimensioning small circles and arcs.

Thankyou Malcolm..

 

That is awesome..That is exactly How AutoCAD handles sub styles. I cant believe i never figured this out. Ive been running this program for years now and i have been using two independent styles depending on the geometry...

Finally i can have one style to suit all.
