Linegrids can be adapted in the 3D window by 2D linegrid dimensions. Those dimensions are developed specially only for linegrids. The 2D linegrid dimensions are inserted to the working plane, it cannot be used in the same way as 3D dimensions.
Dimensions types – Linear, Circular and Angular
Placing of 2D dimension is similar to the placing 2D Linegrid.
The linegrid dimension has its own type of dimensions style – Linegrid.
There is a possibility to adapt the dimension line geometry in the properties or display the library of Dimension styles and adapt the style.
Name
Standard property for all entities in SCIA Engineer.
Layer
Standard property for all entities in SCIA Engineer.
Style name
Tells which predefined dimension style is used for creating dimension line.
Type
Inactive, type of used dimension.
Plotline offset type
1) Style – the plotline offset is loaded from the Dimension style
2) User defined – the user can set the value for offset manually in the properties
Extension line
1) Length – user set the size of extension line beyond end mark
2) Offset – user set the size from inserting point of the dimension line to the end of the extension line
Extension line offset
The value for offset from the dimensioned point to the starting point of extension line.
Rotate angle
Value specifying the rotation of the dimension line from the working plane, example with 25°.
Label prefix
This value can be used as prefix for text label of dimension line.
Display only prefix
Here the user can check if he wants to use only the prefix on selected dimension lines, then he will have all dimensions with same text label on them.
Label suffix
This value can be used as suffix for the text label of dimension line.
This check box automatically adds units as suffix to the text label of dimension line.
Dimension label
Above, Inline, Below – moves position of the text label
Definition of Dimension style for dimension lines in 2D and 3D window is set in Dimension style manager. It’s a standard LIB manager with possibility to save (load) styles to the format DB4.
When the plotline offset type is set on Style in the properties, the offset is taken from the library. When it is switched to the User defined, values can be modified in properties of the selected dimension.
