Use dimension styles to control dimension text, arrowheads, dimension lines,
and extension lines. A dimension style is provided for each drafting standard,
but you can create new styles to suit your own annotation requirements.
These examples show a dimension that uses the default ISO dimension style,
and one with custom style settings applied.
TRY IT: View dimension styles in the Styles and Standards Editor dialog box
1 Open an existing drawing or create a drawing.
2 Choose Format ➤ Style and Standard Editor.
3 Expand Dimension in the browser pane and then double-click a
dimension style. Click the tabs to see how attributes are defined, and
then click Done to close the dialog box.
You can change the settings for the default dimension style, or you can create
your own variation of the dimension style and save it with a new name. You
can apply a dimension style to any number of drawing dimensions.
TRY IT: Override dimension style settings
1 In the drawing, right-click a dimension, and then choose New Dimension
Style.
2 In the New Dimension Style dialog box, click a new dimension style to
apply it, and then click OK.
