- DJUST Menu: (DIM) DMSET
- ==============================================================================
- Sets the location and justification of dimension lines.
- (A nested command)
-
- 1. (CHAR) locate dimension text: a-above line, b-below line
- 2. (CHAR) justification priority: l-center/left, r-center/right,
- c-center
-
- Description
- This command allows you to set the location and justification modes
- of the dimension texts.
-
- You are asked to define the text location mode: either (a)above
- the dimension line, or (b)below the dimension line. The default
- is (a). You are then asked to define the justification of the dimension
- text. The system tries to place the text at the center of the dimension
- line, but if insufficient space is available, it will locate the text
- to the left (option `l' - the default), or to the right (option `r'),
- depending on what you select in this option. It is possible to force
- the system to place the text in the center (option `c'); this option
- is useful for the fixed text mode.
-
- NOTE: The parameters set in this command will affect only the dimension lines
- that are drawn subsequently. Existing dimension lines and dimension lines
- that are updated, e.g., using \movef, \bkdim, \jndim, etc, are unaffected.
