Hi, In Inventor 2010 when making a final drawing, there's an "Arrange Dimension" command. It works very well for dimensions arranged vertically, but the spacing is too small horizontally. Is there a way to change the horizontal spacing? I've looked all over, but can't find one. Any help would be great. Thanks. |

Oh, sure. NOW you want to know.  Just kidding.I actually found out a couple things in my search. The answer from the other board was to open the Styles Editor under the Manage drop down. In the Display tab is the spacing settings for dimensions. Unfortunately, you have to save a new "style" that sets the horizontal spacing, as the default sets both horizontal and vertical the same. What I discovered was, while placing the dimension, the program changes the linetypes at certain intervals while moving it. It shows you when it's centered between the leaders, and at regular intervals from the measured object. Try it. Place some dimensions on a Drawing, (not the model), and move it slowly. You'll see the indicated spacings. |
