Dimension PropertyManager

Allows you to dimension a drawing with smart or DimXpert dimensioning.

To open this PropertyManager:

Select one or more dimensions.

If you select multiple dimensions, only the properties that apply to all the selected dimensions are available.

Dimension Assist Tools

	Smart dimensioning	Lets you create dimensions with the Smart Dimension tool.
	Rapid dimensioning	Lets you enable or disable the rapid dimension selector. Select to enable; clear to disable. This setting persists across sessions.
	DimXpert	Lets you apply dimensions to fully define manufacturing features (patterns, slots, pockets, fillets, etc.) and locating dimensions.

Applies the selected dimensioning scheme to patterns.

	Polar dimensioning	Creates a scheme consisting of a callout and sometimes an angular locating dimension. The dimensions created are diametric, radii, and angular.
	Linear dimensioning	Creates linear dimensions for a pattern.
Instance counts for polar and linear dimensions are supported for patterns created in the SOLIDWORKS software only.

Applies the selected dimensioning scheme, Baseline or Chain , to manufacturing features and locating dimensions.

By Vertex/hole center	Measures the manufacturing features and the locating dimensions from the entity you select in the graphics area. The vertex can be a true vertex or the centerpoint of a circle.
By Selection	Measures the manufacturing features and the locating dimensions from the X and Y edges you select by creating a virtual sharp. You can drag the origin to rotate it, or set a Rotation angle. If the X and Y edges intersect, you must use the By Vertex option.

In drawings with named layers, select a layer.
