When you use
ArrangeDimensions,
the dimensions are:
- Spaced from smallest to largest
- Aligned, if possible
- Spaced with the offset distances defined in
Options
Dimension text centers between extension lines, unless it does not fit
between extension lines.
For these features, see Examples of Automatically Arranging Dimensions.
ArrangeDimensions works with
linear, radial, diameter, angular, and arc length dimensions. The dimensions you
specify must be associative. ArrangeDimensions
does not support ordinate dimensions or annotations such as Leaders, SmartLeaders,
Tolerances, Notes, or SimpleNotes.
You can change the offset distances between the dimension lines of
automatically arranged dimensions and the geometry by using the thumbwheel in the
Dimension palette.
To set the offset distances for automatically arranged dimensions, see
Auto Arranging Dimensions Offset Settings.
To set the Dimension palette thumbwheel increment, see
Using the Thumbwheel for Offset Spacing.
The drawing must include at least one Dimension Bounding Box. Use
the DimensionBoundingBox command to enclose geometry in
Dimension Bounding Boxes. To enable Dimension Bounding Boxes, see Dimension
BoundingBoxesSettings.
