Dimensions
Auto regions always dynamically update to assembly changes and the shape
of the route may vary from the original auto route solution. They do not
involve dimensions until you convert them to parametric regions.
For parametric regions, there are three typical types of dimensions pertaining
to the route sketch:
■ Linear dimension, such as the segment length.
■ Radial dimension, such as the bend radius.
■ Angular dimension, such as the included angle at the direction turn.
Similar to Autodesk Inventor, dimensions on the route sketch can be
categorized into two types:
It is used to drive the route geometry. For instance,
sketched route segments are manually created using a
specified normal sketched dimension.
