One Default Dimension Line Group
A default dimension line group is formed when you add dimension
point macros with default properties to the floor plan. Select the
locations of the dimension point macros in the floor plan.
A default dimension line group includes three dimension lines
added to the floor plan by the program when you solve the
options.
- A - Queue dimension to dimension the distances between the
dimension point macros and the center points of openings nearest to
the dimension point macros. The end points of the dimension line
are the dimension point macros closest to the outermost
openings.
- B - Queue dimension to dimension the distances between the
dimension point macros.
- C - Total dimension between the two outermost dimension point
macros.
The dimension properties and their positioning in the floor plan
are defined in the system settings:
- The properties of the dimension texts (layer, font, color, text
height, etc.) are defined in the GEOMPROP keyword group with the
autodim.points (dimensioning of dimension point macros),
autodim.openings (dimensioning of openings) and autodim.overall
(total dimension) text names.
- The distances of the dimension lines from the building, and
between each other, as well as the presentation of the dimension
lines are defined in the BDSAUTODIM keyword group.
Note
- Before solving the options, you can test the default dimension
line group by using the function Add
Automatic Dimension.
- The program adds the dimension lines to the floor plan and
creates a geometry group of them in connection with solving the
options.
