Dimension Tips (Circles and Lines AutoCAD Tutorial) 1 Dec, 2008 By: Two features found in AutoCAD 2008 can tame your misbehaving dimensions. As I was traveling and sharing a variety of AutoCAD tips recently, I found two very cool key dimensioning features in AutoCAD 2008 that somehow sailed in under the radar, and it’s about time the word got out! It is a rare application that doesn’t deal with some type of dimensioning. Over the years we have come up with so many clever means of getting the final dimensions we need for the perfectly drafted design.

We have learned the advantages of associative dimensions and the disadvantages of dealing with them after they’ve been exploded. The Dimbreak Command The first dimensioning tool, Dimbreak, takes us one step closer to getting our picture-perfect dimensions without risking the wrath of our drafting instructors. Figure 1 shows a typical case of crossing dimensions. In the past we might have exploded a dimension, followed with a break to follow proper dimension standards. The Dimbreak command was added to AutoCAD to avoid just such a situation, and its intelligent-breaking facility continues even when the dimension is moved.

Crossed dimension lines are not acceptable in most applications. The Dimbreak command is simple. Select the dimension line you wish to break, and then select the dimension(s) or objects that the dimension line crosses. Dimbreak recalculates the break when necessary. Let’s take a look at Dimbreak step by step: Command: Dimbreak Select dimension to add/remove break or [Multiple]: Select object to break dimension or [Auto/Manual/Remove]: Select object to break dimension: 1 object modified The same process is used should you need to remove a break from a dimension.

If for some reason you can’t get the exact break that you want, a handy manual option lets you decide where the break should go. However, if you manually break a dimension, it won’t be smart enough to automatically update should you move the dimension. Gedcom Dsplay Ware. Dimbreak works on the following object types: • linear dimensions (aligned and rotated) • angular dimensions (2- and 3-point) • radial dimensions (radius, diameter, and jogged) • arc length dimensions • ordinate dimensions • straight multileaders Unfortunately the following dimension and leader objects do NOT support dimension breaks: • splined multileaders • “legacy” leaders (You are expected to use the new multileaders for leader dimensions.) A few obvious situations also do not support the Dimbreak command. If you have a dimension that is part of a block or xref, Dimbreak won’t break it.

You can, however, use objects within the xref or block as cutting edges to break a dimension. Dimbreak won’t let you place a break on an arrowhead or dimension text (which you wouldn’t want anyway). Last, both the dimension you wish to break and the object it crosses have to be in the same space (paper space or model space). You could, however, use the manual option to get the desired result. If you want to control the size of the automatic break, you can do so under the Symbols and Arrows tab in the Dimstyle command.
