Overview of Modifying Demensions
After you place a dimension, there are times when you need to modify the
information that the dimension represents. You can add a jog line to a linear
dimension to indicate that the dimension value does not represent the actual
dimensioned value or add an inspection dimension to represent how often a
dimension value of a manufactured part should be checked.
At times you might want to modify a dimension to simply improve readability.
You can make sure that the extension or dimension lines do not obscure any
objects; you can adjust the placement of linear dimensions so they are evenly
spaced.
Dimension Jog
JJog lines are used to represent a dimension value that does not display the
actual measurement in a linear dimension. Typically, the actual measurement
value of the dimension is smaller than the displayed value.
The jog is made up of two parallel lines and a cross line that forms two
40-degree angles. The height of the jog is determined by the linear jog size
value of the dimension style.
Once you add a jog to a linear dimension, you can position it by using grips.
To reposition the jog, select the dimension and then select the grip. Move the
grip to another point along the dimension line. You can also adjust the height
of the jog symbol on a linear dimension on the Properties palette under Lines
& Arrows.
To add a jog to a linear dimension
