About the Roughness Symbols
Dialog Box
About Roughness Symbols
- By default, there is a 1 millimeter space between the geometry and
the extension line, as well as a 1 millimeter space between the end
of the extension line and the roughness symbol. Those spaces cannot
be customized.
- The roughness symbol default parameters are 1 for thickness
and solid for line type. They cannot be customized.
- At any time, you can modify the roughness symbol. For this, double-click
the roughness symbol to be modified and enter the desired modifications
in the displayed Roughness Symbol dialog box.
About the "Use style values to create new objects" option
- If you have selected the Use style values to create new objects
option in Tools > Options > Mechanical > Drafting > Administration
tab, the Roughness Symbol dialog box is pre-filled with custom
style values (as defined in the Standards Editor). In this
case, Properties toolbars and the Tools Palette
are disabled during the creation of the roughness symbol.
On the other hand, if you have not selected this option, the Roughness
Symbol dialog box is pre-filled with the last entered values (if
any). In this case, Properties toolbars and the Tools
Palette are active during the creation of the roughness symbol.
- If you have selected the Use style values to create new objects
option, you can reset the current style values in the Roughness Symbol
Editor dialog box at any time using the Reset button.
Position and Orientation
- By default, the roughness symbol's orientation is determined according
to the orientation of the line it is associated with. You can modify
this orientation using the Invert button available in the
Roughness Symbol dialog box.
- When this is not already the case, you can link roughness symbol
position and orientation to another element, see
Making an Existing Annotation Associative.
