Object to Object Dimensions
The dimension can be tied to one of three features of each object:
-
Origin. The distance from the object’s internal origin. This feature setting for the dimension does not allow angular dimensioning, therefore the Angular option becomes grayed out.
-
Z Axis. The distance to the object’s projected Z axis (if Linear is selected), or the angle to the object’s internal Z axis (if Angular is selected).
-
XY Plane. The distance to the object’s XY plane (if Linear is selected), or the angle to the object’s XY plane (if Angular is selected).
Two settings particular to angular dimensioning dictate where the angular dimension appears:
-
Dimension Radius. The distance of the angular dimension from the mutual intersection of the two objects.
-
Angular Location. This button cycles through the four quadrant representations of the given angle.
