Dimensions

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 13 years ago

1) I cannot delete/remove the dimesions (6.2).

 

How to do this?

 

2) The dimensions do not change if the element that was use to create them change its size.

 

Can this be done, like in CAD program?

    Use the DELETE tool and click on the arrow points. There is another point.

    You should read the HELP to understand where this will be located, as it

    varies.

    The dimensions do not snap to other objects and thus are independant of

    other objects.

    Do some tests and you will see that dimensions snap to the grid so the grid

    needs to be fine enough when dimensioning so errors are not introduced.

    No, that does not work (both).

     

    But, if the measured object is moved or deletet - then the dimension can be deleted on the outermost pixel (common with the object).

     

    Seems to me as a bug - because what you and the manual describe does not work.
