- DIM PLC (Dimension placement) allows you to specify
- placement position of text in dimensions. There are a
- total of nine possible alignment points for the text in
- dimensions.
-
- Set the placement axis by choosing from the following
- options:
-
- HORIZTL - to position the text horizontally based on the
- length of the longest line in notes and text and the
- relative width of the dimension with its tolerance. Choose
- an alignment position for text placement: LEFT, CENTER,
- and RIGHT. Each placement represents where the text or
- dimension begins with respect to the position on the
- screen indicated by the cursor.
-
- VERTICL - to position the text vertically based on the
- height of the entire dimension, or relative to the first
- line of text in notes and labels. Choose an alignment
- position for the vertical placement of text: BOTTOM,
- CENTER, or TOP. Each placement represents where the text
- or dimension is based from, with respect to the position
- on the screen indicated by the cursor.
-
- AUTO CEN - to position the text of linear, radius,
- diameter, and angular dimensions in the center of the two
- witness lines. Indicate if you want the dimension text
- automatically centered between the witness lines. Choose
- NO if you want to manually indicate text positions. Choose
- YES if you want to be automatically center about the
- midpoint of the dimension's leader arc.
