AutoCAD 2008 : New Dimensioning Tools

1. DIMSPACE lets dimensions on a drawing to space out from each other at an inputed value.




Dimensions not dimspaced




After DIMSPACE at 12”.







Dimensions are separated at 12” apart.

Auto spacing value for DIMSPACE uses the height of the dimension text multiplied twice. So if the text height of a dimension style is 12”, the Auto spacing value would be 24”.

2. DIMJOGLINE
Places a jog on a dimension, simple as that.









3. DIMBREAK
Places dimension breaks automatically at all the intersection points of the objects that intersect the selected dimension. Any dimension breaks that are created using this option are updated automatically when the dimension or intersecting object is modified.
