5.4.1.3. Radial dimensioning 5.4.1.3.1. Mandatory parameters
Prev	Next

Each dimensioning must contain the following parameters:

ID

The ID is automatically set.

You can adjust the name optionally.
Type

When creating a new dimensioning at first a selection dialog box for the type definition appears. The type is displayed here.

If it makes sense you may change the type via list field.

Note

The parameter fields are not updated until you have clicked Save changes .
Views

At the desired 2D views, where the dimensioning shall be displayed, activate the checkbox.

In the list field, check the desired views.
Connection point

Select a Connection point as center of the circle of the radial dimensioning.

(The measuring distance [see next point] determines, where the arrow is visibly inserted.
1. In the 3D view, click on the desired connection point.
  
  -> This is marked in red now.
2. Click into the input field of the point.
3. Enter the name of the point via Ctrl+V from the clipboard into the input field.

Measuring distance

Measuring distance is the aiming point of the arrowhead (normally the circle radius, because otherwise the arrowhead would have no real focus).

Specify a fixed value or better a variable.

Example "Measuring distance" in 3D

Offset length

Angle of arrow

e.g. 45 (only insertion of the numerical value)
