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.
(DIMLUNIT system variable)
The relative sizes of numbers in stacked fractions are based on the DIMTFAC
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.
(DIMDEC system variable)
Fraction Format
Sets the format for fractions. (DIMFRAC system variable)
Decimal Separator
Sets the separator for decimal formats. (DIMDSEP 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
system variable)
If you specify tolerances, the prefix is added to the tolerances as well as to the
main dimension.
