Inspection Dimension Fields
Inspection Label Text used to identify individual inspection dimensions. The
label is located in the leftmost section of the inspection dimension.
Dimension Value Dimension value that is displayed is the same value before
the inspection dimension is added. The dimension value can contain
tolerances, text (both prefix and suffix), and the measured value. The
dimension value is located in the center section of the inspection dimension.
Inspection Rate Text used to communicate the frequency that the dimension
value should be inspected, expressed as a percentage. The rate is located in
the rightmost section of the inspection dimension.
You can add inspection dimensions to any type of dimension. The current
values of an inspection dimension are displayed on the Properties Inspector,
under Misc. The values include the properties that are used to control the look
of the frame, and the text for both the label and rate values.
Quick Reference
Commands
DIMINSPECT
Adds or removes inspection information for a selected dimension.
Dimension Breaks
With dimension breaks, you can keep the dimension, extension, or leader
lines from appearing as if they are a part of the design.
Dimension breaks can be added to a dimension or a multileader automatically
or manually. The method that you choose to place dimension breaks depends
on the number of objects that intersect a dimension or multileader.
