Strech point of Dimension

[kontingent]

Hi Everbody

please could you help me with a problem?

When I do dimensions of complex thing after then I have to align all strech point of dimension on the same level. and this process is very boring and it takes a lot of time. for quick imagination I did enclose of picture. please do you know some tricks or tips. or is it needing to creat a autolisp command for that?

set your osnaps on, set to endp, turn Otrack on, start dims on right most side (for your example), use dimcontinue, otrack acquire the endp of the next line and then the Y coordinate of the first line.

 

See help for Otrack if you haven't used it before.

easiest solution for this is to use 'fixed length extension lines' in dimension style

you can find it in dimension style dialoguebox under lines. type appropriate no as per your drawing in lenght for it. you may have try few diff. length before you get it right.

I will use the tip with OSNAP and Otrack because I would like stretch points in the same level. thanks very much again.

I'm not familiar with that style of dimensioning. Looks all wrong to me.
