Menu: Dimension ➤ Dimension Space
Summary
The spacing between parallel dimension lines is made equal. You can also
make the dimension lines of a series of linear or angular dimensions line up
by using a spacing value of 0.
Spacing is applied only to parallel linear dimensions or to angular dimensions
that share a common vertex.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select base dimension: Select a parallel linear or angular dimension
Select dimensions to space: Select a parallel linear or angular dimension to equally
space from the base dimension and press Enter
Enter value on page 306 or [Auto on page 306] <Auto>: Specify a spacing distance
or press Enter
Enter Spacing Value Applies a spacing value to the selected dimensions from
the base dimension. For example, if you enter a value of 0.5000, all selected
dimensions will be separated by a distance of 0.5000.
You can use a spacing value of 0 (zero) to align the dimension lines of selected
linear and angular dimensions end to end.
Auto Calculates the spacing distance automatically based on the text height
specified in the dimension style of the selected base dimension. The resulting
spacing value is twice the height of the dimension text.
