Dimension Styles Dialog Box

The Dimension Styles dialog box is simplified for editing Dimension Styles.

When you edit Dimension Styles, the user interface more closely resembles the AutoCAD interface. This ensures a smoother transition for users migrating from AutoCAD to DraftSight.

To access the Dimension Styles dialog box:

Do one of the following:

On the ribbon, click Annotate > Dimension > Dimension Style.
On the menu, click Format > Dimension Style.
Enter DIMSTYLE / DIMENSIONSTYLE in the command window.

Search 'Dimension Styles Dialog Box' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
