Dimension line spacing from object


Recommended Posts

Hello, I just wanted to ask this forum how much distance do you usually put between an object and dimension line.

Wow how long was the blue string. Kidding there is probably a drafting standard somewhere, using lisp usually a factor of text height. Say 2 x txtht or 3 its about readability.

 

Your image has a large dimension gap maybe make that a bit smaller 1st. Personal preferance. 

 

The 8' and 8" look like a good spacing. 2xht ?

That is DIMEXO system variable. The default is 1/2 the text and arrow size.

 

Manual drafting days it was kept between 1/32" and 1/16", basically clearly not touching the object, but close enough to be clear where it's going.
