Gasket tick marks provide a visual aid for interpreting
dimensions that end on a gasket. In the Style.cfg file for each isometric
style, define the settings in the table below to control the display of the
tick marks. lThese files are located in the following directory (using the IFC
style as an example):
C:\...\WorkSpaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\Imperial\Standards\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config
The following section has been added to control the
display of gasket tick marks:
# to show gasket tick marks set to 1
DimTickShow = 1 # weight for gasket tick marks
DimTickWeight = 3 # Cheap gasket dimensioning, Gasket are
dimensioned to one side at most
DimTickAll = 0 # Dimension witness line offset for centerline
for a given endprep
DimLift_FL = 10
DimLift_IF = 10
See the table below for descriptions on the options:
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| DimTickShow
|
1 - Enables the display of tick marks.
0 - Disables the display of tick marks.
When enabled tick marks are placed where only one
side of the gasket has a dimension waypoint as shown:
|
| DimTickWeight
|
The numbered setting defines the thickness of the
tick mark (Example: DimTickWeight = 3 is the default)
|
| DimTickAll
|
DimTickAll=1: Every gasket that would have normally
have dimension way points on both sides will now get only one. (See Below)
DimTickAll=0: Turns off this option.
Note: Please note
that this is only applied when the Combine Gasket with Fitting is enabled.
|
| DimLift_FL/DimLift_IF
|
In this same section are variables to define an
offset for dimension extension lines for flanges and gaskets. This value
offsets the extension line from the element as shown below:
Ordinarily this offset is defined in the
Microstation Dimension Styles dialog and this is still the default method of
defining dimension styles. The following variables however, can be defined for
each isometric style to control how the extension line is offset for flanges
and gaskets:
DimLift_FL = 5.5
DimLift_IF = 5.5
Note: The values for
the offsets are defined in millimeters.
