Break a Dimension Line?
Break a Dimension Line?
(OP)
I have created a pipe and made a cross section of the pipe. Next I made a detail of the ID of end of the pipe. I would like to make a reference diameter dimension of the ID but I don’t want to show the whole diameter. My question basically is how do I break the dimension line? What I would like to show is the dimension text then a line with an arrow to an extension line.





RE: Break a Dimension Line?
Try in properties of the dimension
Extension Line/
Uncheck "Display first extension line" or "Display second extension line"
Dimension Line/
Symbol 1/Shape/ Select type of arrow (e.g. No Symbol)
Symbol 2/Shape/ Select type of arrow

One way to shorten the dimension line is to do the following:
Properties/Extension Line
- Check the Funnel box
- Set Funnel Mode to "Internal"
- Set Funnel side
- Adjust Width to wanted lenght
There might be other ways to do this......

I get the same lengh of the dimension line as if I create the original dimension and the value is getting two times the original one. Is this possible to adjust in the standard file?
