There are feature classes for the aligned and orthogonal dimensions for the documentation of dimensioning. For each dimension, the lines, points and labels are managed in the associated feature classes. How a dimension is entered in the graphic is described in “Documenting dimensions”.
Aligned dimensioning
The objects of an aligned dimensioning are managed in this form.
1. The feature ID is displayed.
2. The dimensioning type is displayed: “A” for “aligned”.
3. The forms for all lines associated with the dimensioning can be opened.
4. The forms for all points associated with the dimensioning can be opened.
Aligned dimensioning line
1. The Fid is displayed.
2. The length of the line is displayed.
3. The parent feature ID of the dimensioning is displayed.
4. The line type is displayed, e.g., AL: aligned, line.
5. The offset of the dimensioning to the dimensioned object is displayed.
6. A measured abscissa can be entered.
7. A measured ordinate can be entered.
8. The calculated abscissa is displayed.
9. The calculated ordinate is displayed.
10. The forms for the points associated with the dimensioning line can be opened.
11. The forms for the labels associated with the dimensioning line can be opened.
Aligned dimensioning point
1. The Fid is displayed.
2. The alignment of the point is displayed.
3. Z-value of point
4. The quality of the point can be entered.
5. The parent feature ID of the dimensioning is displayed.
6. The point type of the dimensioning is displayed, e.g., S: start point; E: end point.
7. The parent FID of the line associated with the point is displayed.
8. The forms for the point labels associated with the dimensioning can be opened.
Aligned dimensioning label
1. The Fid is displayed.
2. The label-definition ID is displayed. This can be accessed in the display model.
3. The parent feature ID of the dimensioning line associated with the label is displayed.
4. The label text is displayed.
5. The horizontal alignment of the text is displayed.
6. The vertical alignment of the text is displayed.
7. The orientation of the label is displayed.
8. A prefix can be entered.
9. A suffix can be entered.
10. The forms of the help lines associated with the label can be opened.
Orthogonal dimensioning
The objects of an orthogonal dimensioning are managed in this form.
1. The Fid is displayed.
2. The dimensioning type is displayed: “O” for “orthogonal”.
3. The forms for all lines associated with the dimensioning can be opened.
4. The forms for all points associated with the dimensioning can be opened.
Orthogonal dimensioning line
1. The Fid is displayed.
2. The length of the line is displayed.
