7.16.4.1.  Mandatory parameters

Each dimensioning must contain the following parameters:

  • ID

    ID is only required if a dimensioning serves as the base dimension [Base dimension] for a subsequent dimensioning.

  • Description

    The description text is displayed at the top of the list. Initially, a description is automatically assigned when a new dimensioning is created (AUTO-<number>), but you can customize this as required.

  • Type

    When creating a new dimension, HORIZONTAL appears automatically. Adjust the selection in the list field to ANGLE. You can change the type at any time.

    [Note]Note

    The selection fields are only updated after clicking on Save changes are updated.

  • Views

    Activate the checkbox for the desired 2D views on which the dimensioning is to be displayed.

    Views that contain a dimensioning can be recognized in the 3D toolbar by a corresponding icon with a dimensioning line .

  • Measuring point 1, measuring point 2, measuring point 3, measuring point 4

    At angular dimensionings 2 lines are specified by 4 points, which describe the angle.

    Direction of rotation [Direction of angle] L1 and direction of rotation [Direction of angle] L2

    Direction of rotation of line 1 and 2

    Value range: 0 / 1

    The arc is drawn from line 1 to line 2. Thus please regard the order when setting the points and lines. Possibly change the measuring points 1/2 with 3/4. Changing of points and lines influences the direction of rotation of the angle.

    [Note]Note

    The value is a string, which can also contain variables or conditions.

    Example:

    IF A<B THEN 1 ELSE 0 ENDIF

  • Mirror

    Value range:

    • 0: Dimensioning of full circle minus calculated angle

    • 1: Dimensioning of calculated angle

  • Shifting [Displacement] the dimension arc of the angle from the intersection of the lines

    Specify a fixed value or better a variable or use a PARTdesigner expression as well: E.g.: D*2
