DRAW Reference Manual

Dimensions : Summary of Commands : Radial Dimensions . . .
AKEY  option
- stores the code of a dimensional attribute of the Design element type that is to be dimensioned. Option dependent on Design element type. Default DIAM.
DFLA  option
- controls whether the dimension line is drawn from the centre (Radius) or across the diameter (Diameter). option = DIAMETER or RADIUS, default RADIUS.
DDEG value
- controls angle at which dimension line displays, relative to the 2D
- coordinate system of the VIEW. Default 0 (horizontal in the VIEW).
DTFL  option
- controls whether the text radius DTRAD is measured from the CENTRE, MIDPOINT or CIRCUMFERENCE of the radial dimension. Default CENTRE
DTRA  value
- radial position of the dimension text origin from the centre or circumference
- (according to the DTFL setting) of the dimensioned object.
DTRA FLAG  option
- modifies DTFL and recalculates DTRA to keep same visual appearance. option = CENTRE, MIDPOINT or CIRCUMFERENCE.
DTAN  option
- controls the Dimension text angle.
option = STANDARD, HORIZ, VERT, default
STANDARD.
DSTY  option
- combined with DTAN, controls the overall dimension style. Option = DIMLINE, LEADERLINE, EXTERNAL, default DIMLINE.
CHSTYLE  option
- controls the drawing style used for the optional horizontal and vertical fixed crosshair markers that mark the centre of the circle/arc being dimensioned. option = OFF (default), integer or line pattern.
CHCOLOUR value
- controls the drawing colour. Value can be a colour number or pre-defined colour name.
CHOS value
CHOS @
- controls the distance by which the crosshairs overshoot the circle/arc circumference. value can be negative, default 6.
ASUB value
- controls the angle subtended by the optional projection arcs at the circle/arc circumference. For DFLAG DIAMETER two arcs are drawn, one at each end of the dimension line; for DFLAG RADIUS only one arc is drawn. The midpoint of these arcs intersects the dimension line. ASUB 180 generates a circle for a diameter dimension.
- allows interactive modification of Dimension, with graphical feedback.
