Dimension style manager

Menu: Modify > Dimension styles

 

Opens the Dimension style management dialog box containing the dimension styles which you can use in a DWG file or an electrical scheme.

 

When you select a new current dimension style, all commands that add dimensions to the active file use this style. In addition, dimensions you update with Update Dimension (Modify menu) change to the new current dimension style. Because you must define dimension styles for each document, the list of available styles can differ in files and electrical projects.

 

To select the current dimension style, or to view, add, edit, or delete dimension styles from the list of available styles, use one of the following options:

Set as current: Defines the selected dimension style as current in the DWG file (or electrical scheme).

New: Allows you to add a new dimension style. A dialog box lets you name the dimension style and select the basic existing style.

Modify: Allows you to modify the selected dimension style parameters. A dialog box opens displaying all dimension style settings.

Compare: Compares two dimension styles.

Delete: Deletes the selected dimension style. You cannot delete a dimension style used in the DWG file (or electrical scheme).
