- SERIAL allows you to create a series of dimensions.
-
- Indicate the type of serial dimension you want to use by
- choosing from the following options:
-
- CHAIN - to create chain dimensioning. You can select a
- maximum of 50 reference points for chain dimensions.
-
- BASELN - to create a series of dimensions that have one
- reference point (the baseline point) in common. The
- dimensions are stacked so that dimensions of lesser value
- are displayed below dimensions of larger value. You can
- select a maximum of 50 reference points.
-
- Please be aware of the following notes:
-
- * Baseline dimensions are only displayed in the view in
- which they are created.
- * You must select all points of a baseline dimension
- before you create the actual dimension.
- * To automatically center dimension text, use DETAIL, SET,
- TEXT, DIM PLC, AUTO CEN.
-
- RUNNING - to create a superimposed running dimension; a
- chainlike series of dimensions that have one reference
- point (the baseline point) in common. Unlike baseline and
- chain dimensions, the text is placed at the top of the
- witness line and the text's angle is the same as the
- witness line. The dimensions are all displayed at the
- witness line height indicated. You can select a maximum
- of 50 reference points.
