Dimensioning Variables Reference

DIMADEC  Controls the number of places of precision displayed for angular dimension text.

DIMALT  Controls use of alternate units in dimensions.

DIMALTD  Controls the number of decimal places in alternate units.

DIMALTF  Controls scale factor in alternate units.

DIMALTTD  Sets the number of decimal places for the tolerance values in the alternate units of a dimension.

DIMALTTZ  Toggles suppression of zeros in tolerance values.

DIMALTU  Sets the units format for alternate units of all dimension style family members except angular.

DIMALTZ  Controls the suppression of zeros in alternate unit dimension values.

DIMAPOST  Specifies a text prefix or suffix (or both) to the alternate dimension measurement for all types of dimensions except angular.

DIMASO  Controls the creation of associative dimension objects.

DIMASZ  Controls the size of dimension-line and leader-line arrowheads.

DIMAUNIT  Sets the angle format for angular dimensions.

DIMBLK  Sets the name of a block to be drawn instead of the normal arrowhead at the ends of dimension lines or leader lines.

DIMBLK1  If DIMSAH is on, specifies a user-defined arrowhead block for the first end of the dimension line.

DIMBLK2  If DIMSAH is on, specifies a user-defined arrowhead block for the second end of the dimension line.

DIMCEN  Controls drawing of circle or arc center marks and centerlines by DIMCENTER, DIMDIAMETER, and DIMRADIUS.

DIMCLRD  Assigns colors to dimension lines, arrowheads, and dimension leader lines.

DIMCLRE  Assigns colors to extension lines of dimensions.

DIMCLRT  Assigns colors to dimension text.

DIMDEC  Sets the number of decimal places displayed for the primary units of a dimension.

DIMDLE  Sets the distance the dimension line extends beyond the extension line when oblique strokes are drawn instead of arrowheads.

DIMDLI  Controls the spacing of dimension lines in baseline dimensions.

DIMEXE  Specifies how far to extend the extension line beyond the dimension line.

DIMEXO  Specifies how far extension lines are offset from origin points.

DIMFIT  Controls the placement of text and arrowheads inside or outside extension lines based on the available space between the extension lines.

DIMGAP  Sets the distance around the dimension text when the dimension line breaks to accommodate dimension text.

DIMJUST  Controls the horizontal position of dimension text.

DIMLFAC  Sets a global scale factor for linear dimensioning measurements.

DIMLIM  When turned on, generates dimension limits as the default text.

DIMPOST  Specifies a text prefix or suffix (or both) to the dimension measurement.

DIMRND  Rounds all dimensioning distances to the specified value.

DIMSAH  Controls use of user-defined arrowhead blocks at the ends of the dimension line.

DIMSCALE  Sets the overall scale factor applied to dimensioning variables that specify sizes, distances, or offsets.

DIMSD1  Controls suppression of the first dimension line.

DIMSD2  Controls suppression of the second dimension line.

DIMSE1  Suppresses display of the first extension line.

DIMSE2  Suppresses display of the second extension line.

DIMSHO  Controls redefinition of dimension objects while dragging.

DIMSOXD  Suppresses drawing of dimension lines outside the extension lines.

DIMSTYLE  Sets the current dimension style by name.

DIMTAD  Controls the vertical position of text in relation to the dimension line.

DIMTDEC  Sets the number of decimal places to display in tolerance values for a dimension.

DIMTFAC  Specifies a scale factor for text height of tolerance values relative to the dimension text height set by DIMTXT.

DIMTIH  Controls the position of dimension text inside the extension lines for all dimension types except ordinate.

DIMTIX  Draws text between extension lines.

DIMTM  When DIMTOL or DIMLIM is on, sets the minimum (or lower) tolerance limit for dimension text.

DIMTOFL  Controls whether a dimension line is drawn between the extension lines, even when the text is placed outside.

DIMTOH  Controls the position of dimension text outside the extension lines.

DIMTOL  Appends tolerances to dimension text.

DIMTOLJ  Sets the vertical justification for tolerance values relative to the nominal dimension text.

DIMTP  When DIMTOL or DIMLIM is on, sets the maximum (or upper) tolerance limit for dimension text.

DIMTSZ  Specifies the size of oblique strokes drawn instead of arrowheads for linear, radius, and diameter dimensions.

DIMTVP  Controls the vertical position of dimension text above or below the dimension line.

DIMTXSTY  Specifies the text style of the dimension.

DIMTXT  Specifies the height of dimension text, unless the current text style has a fixed height.

DIMTZIN  Controls the suppression of zeros in tolerance values.

DIMUNIT  Sets the units format for all dimension style family members except angular.

DIMUPT  Controls options for user-positioned text.

DIMZIN  Controls suppression of zeroes in the primary unit value.
