List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Linear Dimensions
Sets the format and precision for linear dimensions.
Unit Format
Sets the current units format for all dimension types except Angular. (
DIM-
LUNIT
(page 1275) system variable)
The relative sizes of numbers in stacked fractions are based on the
DIMTFAC
(page 1282) system variable (in the same way that tolerance values use this
system variable).
Precision
Displays and sets the number of decimal places in the dimension text. (
DIM-
DEC
(page 1267) system variable)
Fraction Format
Sets the format for fractions. (DIMFRAC (page 1269) system variable)
Decimal Separator
Sets the separator for decimal formats. (DIMDSEP (page 1268) system variable)
Round Off
Sets rounding rules for dimension measurements for all dimension types
except Angular. If you enter a value of 0.25, all distances are rounded to the
nearest 0.25 unit. If you enter a value of 1.0, all dimension distances are
rounded to the nearest integer. The number of digits displayed after the decimal
point depends on the Precision setting. (DIMRND system variable)
Prefix
Includes a prefix in the dimension text. You can enter text or use control
codes to display special symbols. For example, entering the control code %%c
displays the diameter symbol. When you enter a prefix, it overrides any default
prefixes such as those used in diameter and radius dimensioning. (
DIMPOST
(page 1276) system variable)
If you specify tolerances, the prefix is added to the tolerances as well as to the
main dimension.

Control Codes and Special Characters (page 1083).
