Value Properties

This reference describes the Value properties concerning:
  • Dimension.
 
  This page deals with the properties concerning:
 

Dimension Type
 
Displays the dimension type name, Projected dimension in our example.
 

Driving
Not relevant
 

Value Orientation
 
 

Reference
Defines the dimension value reference orientation according to the:
  • Screen.
  • View.
  • Dimension Line.
By default, Dimension Line.
 

Orientation
Defines the dimension value orientation:
  • Parallel.
  • Perpendicular.
  • Fixed Angle.
By default, Parallel.
 

Angle
Defines the dimension value orientation angle.
This property is only available with the Fixed Angle orientation property.
By default, 0.000 deg.
 

Position
Defines the dimension value position:
  • Auto.
  • Inside.
  • Outside.
By default, Auto.
 

Offset
Defines the dimension value offset relative to the dimension line.
By default, 2.000 mm.
 

Dual Value
 
 

Show dual value
Defines whether a dual dimension value is displayed or not.
By default, this option is not selected.
 

Location
Available location for the dual value are:
  • Below.
  • Fractional.
  • Side-by-Side.
By default, Below.
 

Format
 
 

Main Value, Dual Value
  Defines the dimension format for the main and dual value.
Dual value properties are only available with the Show dual value property selected.
 

Description
Defines the numerical display format applied to the dimension.
By default, the numerical format in use at creation.
 

Display
Defines the factor applied to the dimension.
By default, 1 factor.
 

Format
Defines the representation format for the decimal part of value, applied to the dimension and the tolerance:
  • Decimal.
  • Fractional.
By default, Decimal.
The base unit defined for the dimension value in the Description, Display and Format box is used to determine the unit of tolerance located in the Tolerance tab.
 

Precision
Defines the precision format for the decimal part of value, applied to the dimension and the tolerance.
By default, 0.01 or 1/100 according to the representation format selected.
 

Fake Dimension
 

 

 Defines whether the dimension value is faked or not.
Properties in this section are applicable for non-semantic dimensions only.
By default, this option is not selected.
 

Representation
  Defines fake dimension representation:
  • Numerical.
  • Alphanumerical.
  When the Numerical representation is selected, the dimension value is updated according to the dimension geometrical support modification.
Nevertheless if you want to define a specific dimension value independently of its geometrical support, you have to select the Alphanumerical and type in your value.
By default, Alphanumerical.
 

Main Value, Dual Value
  Defines fake dimension representation for the main and dual value.
Dual value properties are only available with the Show dual value property selected.
