Value Properties

The Value lets you modify dimension properties.

Select this tab to access options for:

Dimension Type



Displays the dimension type name, Projected dimension in our example.

Driving
Important:

This property is not relevant.

Value Orientation



Reference
Defines the dimension value reference orientation according to the:
  • Screen.
  • View.
  • Dimension Line.
Orientation
Defines the dimension value orientation:
  • Parallel.
  • Perpendicular.
  • Fixed Angle.
Angle
Defines the dimension value orientation angle.
Important:

These properties are only available with the Fixed Angle property of Orientation.

Position
Defines the dimension value position:
  • Auto.
  • Inside.
  • Outside.
Offset
Defines the dimension value offset relative to the dimension line.

Dual Value



Show dual value
Defines whether a dual dimension value is displayed.
Location
Available location for the dual value are:
  • Below.
  • Fractional.
  • Side-by-Side.

Format



Main Value, Dual Value
Defines the dimension format for the main and dual value.
Important:

For a full description of the tolerance type selected, click the information icon on the left of the field.

Important:

Dual value properties are only available with the Show dual value property of Value properties.

Description
Defines the numerical display format applied to the dimension.
Display
Defines the factor applied to the dimension.
Format
Defines the representation format for the decimal part of value, applied to the dimension and the tolerance:
  • Decimal
  • Fractional
Precision
Defines the precision format for the decimal part of value, applied to the dimension and the tolerance.

Fake Dimension



Defines whether the dimension value is faked.

Important:

Properties in this section are applicable for non-semantic dimensions only.

Representation
Defines fake dimension representation:
  • Numerical.
  • Alphanumerical.
Important:

When the Numerical representation is selected, the dimension value is updated according to the dimension geometrical support modification.

Nevertheless if you want to define a specific dimension value independently of its geometrical support, you have to select the Alphanumerical and type in your value.

Main Value, Dual Value
Defines fake dimension representation for the main and dual value.
Important:

Dual value properties are only available with the Show dual value property of Value properties.
