Command input:
ath_dim_quickset
Changes various dimension settings (e.g. scaling and accuracy) of dimensions. The desired settings are carried out in a dialog box.
Dialog box ATHENA Dimension settings
Tab Text height
db_ath_dim_quickset
Dialog box section Dimension style
Scalable Switches in dimension scalability. You will find further information in the section Scalability (label objects). The name of the current dimension style is displayed.
Scale Sets the scale for dimension scaling.
If you are using scalable dimensions (AutoCAD labels), with this setting you change the label scale of the viewport (system variable cannoscale). If you are using non-scalable dimensions, you change the scaling of the dimensions (system variable dimscale).
This button is only available for scalable dimensions.
Dialog box section Actual text height
Shows the dimension text height defined in the dimension style (dimtxt) and the dimension scale (cannoscale or dimscale). Furthermore, a list with the actual heights of the scale texts is displayed. Here you can mark the actual text height in the list to assign it to other dimensions.
The actual text height is calculated from the dimension text height multiplied by the dimension scale.
Tab Primary units
db_ath_dim_quickset_primäreinheit
Dialog box section Linear dimensions
Precision Defines the accuracy of the linear dimensions. You can choose the required accuracy from the list.
Rounding Defines the rounding rules for the dimensions.
Decimal separator Determines the separator for decimal figures.
Dialog box section Suppress zero
Pre-decimal point Suppresses leading zeros in decimal dimensions. For example, 0.5 becomes .5.
Post-decimal point Suppresses following zeros in decimal dimensions. For example, 12.500 becomes 12.5.
0 foot Suppresses stating feet for a dimension in feet and inches when the distance is shorter than one foot. For example, 0'-6 1/2" becomes 6 1/2".
0 inch Suppresses stating inches for a dimension in feet and inches when the distance is an integer in feet. For example, 1'-0" becomes 1'.
Dialog box section Dimension scale
Scale factor Determines the scale factor of the dimension.
Dialog box section Angular dimensions
Precision Defines the accuracy of the angular dimensions. You can choose the required accuracy from the list.
Dialog box section Suppress zero
Pre-decimal point Suppresses leading zeros in decimal dimensions. For example, 0.5 becomes .5.
Post-decimal point Suppresses following zeros in decimal dimensions. For example, 12.500 becomes 12.5.
Apply
Ignore dimension style Causes the set properties to be transferred to all selected dimensions irrespective of the dimension style.
Ignore scalability Causes the set properties to be transferred to all selected dimensions irrespective of the scalability setting.
Object < Transfers the properties of an existing dimension to the dialog box. In this way you have the possibility of transferring properties from existing dimensions. When you click the button, the dialog box is temporarily closed and the following appears:
