|
| Dimension Variable | Default Setting | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| DIMADEC | -1 | Angular decimal places (set from 0-8); a setting of –1 tells AutoCAD to use the DIMDEC setting |
| DIMALT | Off | Use of alternate units |
| DIMALTD | 2 | Decimal places in alternate units |
| DIMALTF | 25.4 | Scale factor in alternate units |
| DIMALTTD | 2 | Decimal places in tolerances of alternate units |
| DIMALTTZ | 0 | Suppression of zeros in alternate units (0 or 1) |
| DIMALTU | 2 | Units format for alternate units (except angular) |
| DIMALTZ | 0 | Suppression of zeros in tolerance values |
| DIMAPOST | "" | Identifies a text suffix / prefix to be used with alternate dim |
| DIMASO | on | Associative dimensioning (on or off) |
| DIMASZ | 0.18 | Arrowhead size |
| DIMAUNIT | 0 | Format for angular dimensions |
| DIMBLK | "" | Specify a block to place on the dimension line rather than an arrowhead |
| DIMBLK1 DIMBLK2 | """" | Specifies blocks for both ends of the dimension line (if the DIMSAH variable is on) |
| DIMCEN | 0.09 | Controls what, if any, center marks are placed in circles and arcs (Centerlines are drawn if the number is less than 0; Center marks are drawn if the number is above 0; no center marks/lines are drawn if value equals 0) |
| DIMCLRD | 0 | Color for dimension lines, arrowheads, and leaders |
| DIMCLRE | 0 | Color for extension lines |
| DIMCLRT | 0 | Color for dimension text |
| DIMDEC | 4 | Primary units decimal places |
| DIMDLE | 0.0 | Extension of dimension line beyond extension line |
| DIMDLI | 0.38 | Spacing of baseline dimension lines |
| DIMEXE | 0.18 | Extension of extension line beyond dimension line |
| DIMEXO | 0.0625 | Distance from origin to beginning of extension line |
| DIMFIT | 3 | This controls whether or not a dimension line will be placed between the extension lines if there is enough space. Settings are: 0 – arrows and text; 1 – just text; 2 – just arrows; 3 – best fit (puts text and arrows between the extension lines as space is available); 4 – leader (when no space is available for the text, it is placed aside and connected to the dimension line with a leader line); 5 – no leader (same as 4 but will not use a leader line). |
| DIMGAP | 0.09 | Space around the text when it is placed inside the dimension line or between bottom of text and dimension line when text is placed above the line |
| DIMJUST | 0 | Horizontal position of dimension text. Possible settings include: 0 – centered between extension lines; 1 – next to the first extension line; 2 – next to the second extension line; 3 – next to and aligned with the first extension line; 4 – next to and aligned with the second extension line |
| DIMLFAC | 1.0 | Global scale factor for dimensioning |
| DIMLIM | off | Places dimension limits as default dimension text |
| DIMPOST | "" | Identifies a text prefix or suffix for the dimension text |
| DIMRND | 0.00 | Rounds the dimension distances to this value |
| DIMSAH | off | Determines whether or not blocks will be used instead or arrowheads |
| DIMSCALE | 1.0 | Sets an overall scale factor for all dimension variables requiring size settings |
| DIMSD1 DIMSD2 | off off | Suppression of the first and second dimension line |
| DIMSE1 DIMSE2 | off off | Suppression of the first and second extension line |
| DIMSHO | on | This actually controls whether or not the dimension will be redefined as the dimension is dragged |
| DIMSOXD | off | Controls whether or not dimension lines will be drawn outside the extension lines |
| DIMSTYLE | "Standard" | Current dimension style |
| DIMTAD | 0 | Vertical position of text. Possible settings are: 0 – centered inside the dimension line; 1 – place text above the dimension line; 2 – on the side of the dimension line farthest from the defining point; 3 – Japanese standard |
| DIMTDEC | 4 | Decimal places in tolerance value |
| DIMTFAC | 1.0 | Scale factor the text height of tolerance values |
| DIMTIH | on | Whether (on)or not (off) text inside the dimension lines will be horizontal |
| DIMTIX | off | Force text between the extension lines |
| DIMTM | 0.0 | Sets the minimum tolerance limits when either DIMLIM or DIMTOL is on |
| DIMTOFL | off | Force a dimension line between extension lines |
| DIMTOH | on | Position of text outside dimension lines (on forces horizontal text) |
| DIMTOL | off | Add tolerances to dimension text |
| DIMTOLJ | 1 | Vertical justification of tolerance values (0 – bottom; 1 – middle; 2 – top) |
| DIMTP | 0.0 | Upper tolerance limit |
| DIMTSZ | 0.0 | Size of ticks used instead of arrowheads |
| DIMTVP | 0.0 | Vertical position of text above / below dimension line |
| DIMTXSTY | "Standard" | Text style used for the dimension text |
| DIMTXT | 0.18 | Height of dimension text |
| DIMTZIN | 0 | Suppression of zeros in tolerance values. Possible values: 0 – suppresses zero feet and zero inches; 1 – includes zero feet and inches; 2 – includes zero feet but suppresses zero inches; 3 – includes zero inches but suppresses zero feet; 4 – suppresses leading zeros in decimals; 8 – suppresses trailing zeros in decimals; 12 – suppresses both leading and trailing zeros in decimals. |
| DIMUNIT | 2 | Dimension units for everything but angular dimensions. Possible settings are: 1 – Scientific; 2- Decimal; 3 – Engineering; 4 – Architectural (stacked); 5 – Fractional (stacked); 6 – Architectural; 7 – Fractional; 8 – windows settings |
| DIMUPT | off | If on, the cursor controls placement of both dimension and text; if off, the cursor controls placement only of the dimension |
| DIMZIN | 0 | Suppression of zeros in the primary units. . Possible values: 0 – suppresses zero feet and zero inches; 1 – includes zero feet and inches; 2 – includes zero feet but suppresses zeroinches; 3 – includes zero inches but suppresses zero feet; 4 – suppresses leading zeros in decimals; 8 – suppresses trailing zeros in decimals; 12 – suppresses both leading and trailing zeros in decimals. |
