Copy Copies text, a multiline text object, a feature control frame with
geometric tolerances, or a block and connects the copy to the end of the leader
line. The copy is associated with the leader line, meaning that if the copied
object moves, the end of the leader line moves with it. The display of the hook
line depends on the object copied.
The value of the current text gap (see
DIMSTYLE (page 319) or the DIMGAP
(page 1271) system variable) determines where the text and multiline text objects
are inserted. Blocks or feature control frames with geometric tolerances are
attached to the end of the leader line.
Block Inserts a block at the end of the leader line. The prompts are the same
as for
INSERT (page 522). The block reference is inserted at an offset from the
end of the leader line and is associated to the leader line, meaning that if the
block moves, the end of the leader line moves with it. No hook line is
displayed.
None Ends the command without adding any annotation to the leader line.
Mtext Creates text using the
In-Place Text Editor (page 678) when you specify
an insertion point and a second point for the text boundary.
Enter the characters for the text. Enclose format strings for prefixes and suffixes
in angle brackets (< >). Enclose format strings for alternate units in square
brackets ([ ]). For more information about adding a prefix or suffix, see “Control
the Display of Dimension Units” in the User's Guide.
The units settings and the current text style determine how the text is
displayed. The multiline text is vertically centered and horizontally aligned
according to the X axis direction of the last two vertices of the leader line.
The text is offset from the hook line by the distance specified under Offset
from Dim Line on the Text tab of the
New, Modify, or Override Dimension
Style dialog box
(page 323). If the offset specified is negative, the multiline text
is enclosed in a box as a basic dimension.
Format
Controls the way the leader is drawn and whether it has an arrowhead.
