Re-routing Dimensions

You can re-route dimensions, that is recalculate dimensions taking into account new geometry elements which are compatible with the re-routed dimension type.

Re-routing dimensions can be particularly useful in the case of isolated dimensions resulting from V4 to V6 migration. Indeed, re-routing isolated dimensions to the geometry enables you make them associative.

Before you begin: In a drawing representation, create an angle, create a dimension.

  1. Right-click the dimension and select Dimension.x object > Re-route Dimension .

  2. Select the angle dimension. You can notice that the cursor indicates the type of dimension you are selecting.



  3. Select the first element you want to take into account for the dimension re-routing, and then the second element.

    Select the first element.

    Then, select the second element.

    Important: During this operation, the cursor gives a graphic preview of what type of element you are selecting (in this case, lines).

    A preview of the re-routed angle dimension is displayed.



  4. Click to validate the dimension creation.



  5. You can proceed in the same manner to re-route the other dimension types available on the drawing.
