dimension line location
dimension line location
(OP)
Is it possible to input distance from dimension line to dimensioned object from keyboard (eg. 20)? I tried to do it
after message:
"Specify dimension line location or
[Mtext/Text/Angle/Horizontal/Vertical/Rotated]:",
but i got different distance every time.
Also, is it possible to change this distance automatically depending on Viewport scale (like setting size of text, arrowheads etc. by Dimension->Update)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Specify dimension line location
From
pick the endpoint (for instance) of the object
@0,20
If you do this often, perhaps a macro is in order.

But is it possible to scale this distance?

2nd way: Use the osnap with otrack-> snap the midpoint, follow the track-> 20
I think it's not possible to scale this distance without an application like ADT,...

Let's say that I set it to 20 units. When I print it in 1:1 scale, everything's fine. But when I set Viewport scale to 1:4 and then update dimensions, text, arrows etc. are bigger, but this distance stays the same. So, in my print it is 4 times smaller. It should change to 80 to match the scale.
But maybe I should force myself to dimension in paper space. That would solve the problem.
