Base dimension

When entering a dimensioning element's ID under Base dimension, the value stated under Position -> Offset does not refer to the bounding box or the element, but on the stated dimensioning element.

Elements of the first "offset level" of a chain of dimensions have no entry under Base dimension, but refer to BBOX or ELEMENT.

Note In order to be able to work with the option Base dimension, an ID has to be mandatorily set at all dimensionings used for this. It is entered in the field Base dimension at a subsequent dimensioning. The chain's first dimension has no entry for this. The field ID of a dimension stands for Identifier. Thus the entry here has to be absolutely unique! The Base dimension has to be placed before the dimensioning currently edited in the ID list. Please make sure that all dimensionings can be created. The first measurement in the chain (if defined as BBOX relative) must always be able to be created.

Have a look on the following example

For DIM1 and DIM2 there is no base dimension. They have the same distance to the bounding box, because under position, the same settings are made.

DIM3 and DIM4 have both "DIM1" as base dimension, so for these two the offset does not refer to the bounding box, but the value set under Position -> Offset is added to the offset of "DIM1". Just as well "DIM2" could have been set with the same effect.

DIM5 has DIM3 as base dimension. So the set offset also here, does not refer to the bounding box, but is added to the offset of DIM3.

Here in this example you can see that the offset "DIM3" refers to the base dimension "DIM1".

Text shift (on the dimensioning arrow)

Note The option is only available at the dimensioning type HORIZONTAL.

The value determines the horizontal text shift from center.

Alignment

Note The option is only available at the dimensioning types HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL and PARALLEL.
