• Only the bendings parallel with the view axes will be taken in consideration.

• If the automatic composite dimension is used on an interrupted view, only an origin manually defined is allowed. If another kind of origin is defined, an error message is displayed when creating or modifying the automatic bendings composite dimensions operation.

• If there are automatic axes in the interrupted view, generated dimensions by the automatic bendings composite dimensions operation will not be hooked on these axes.

• All options and settings below are specific to automatic composite dimensions. More general dimension settings (secondary dimension, framing, size, extremity type, ...) are available by using a customized dimension style or after validating the command, by editing the dimension.

• If the dimension style used by an automatic bendings composite dimensions operation is deleted, this operation will become invalid.

Allows to select the origin of coordinates.

1. • By selecting a corner of the view or its origin by using the corresponding icon.

   • or by selecting manually the point on the view.

• Automatic bendings detection: If this option is unchecked, only selected geometries are dimensioned. If it is checked, all bendings will be dimensioned.

• Bendings to ignore: Allows to select on the view, bendings to ignore during the dimensioning.

• Extra geometries: It is possible to add geometries (vertex, pocket edges or others, ...) to be also dimensioned.

• Exceptions : Among entities to dimension (bendings and/or geometries), it is possible to create an exception for not having a dimension following x or y for a geometry. By unchecking the X cell, the dimension following X for this geometry will be ignored. If the geometry is a vertical edge, only X can be checked or unchecked, Y is unchecked. If the geometry is a vertex, X and Y can be checked or unchecked.

• Font:

Display the name and size of font used

Check the Font option to activate the button and be able to modify settings (font, style, size,...)

• Format :

Displays the number of digits for composite dimensions.

Check the unit format to activated the button and be able to change settings (number of digits, show training zeros, ...)

• Bore decimal digits:

The dimension for the bore position can have a different number of digits by using this option. This option is only available for base line and ordinate modes.

• Alignment:

Allows to define the text alignment regarding the dimension geometry.

Check the Alignment to position the dimension text above or on the dimension line.

In the case of a secondary dimension, if values must be one above and the other below the dimension line, use centered on the dimension line.

• Dimension Line:

Allows to define the offset between the dimension text and line.

• Projection Line:

Allows to define the gap between the geometry and the projection line and also the extension of the projection line above the dimension line.

This option adapts depending on the mode selected.
