Table Of Contents

For polylines and other explodable objects, only the individual line and arc

segments are dimensioned. You cannot select objects in a non-uniformly

scaled block reference.

If you select a line or an arc, the line or arc endpoints are used as the origins

of the extension lines. The extension lines are offset from the endpoints by

the distance you specify in Offset from Origin in the Lines and Arrows tab of

the New, Modify, and Override Dimension Style dialog boxes. See DIMSTYLE

(page 319). This value is stored in the DIMEXO (page 1269) system variable.

If you select a circle, the diameter endpoints are used as the origins of the

extension line. When the point used to select the circle is close to the north

or south quadrant point, a horizontal dimension is drawn. When the point

used to select the circle is close to the east or west quadrant point, a vertical

dimension is drawn.
