OpenBridge Modeler

Manual Dimensioning

The OpenBridge Modeler dimensioning commands allow dimensioning of component parts and groups automatically in the drawings as well as manual dimensioning with useful help functions.

For example, the overall views of the model may be dimensioned for an overview. However, it is also possible to dimension individual component parts or groups and then create details manually in cases where automatic detailing is not suitable for your application. In addition, all major standard functions of regular dimensioning are available for revision or modification of 2D workshop drawings.

The dimensioning functions are principally based on the settings for detailing style (dimensioning), therefore general settings like dimensioning style, optimization, etc. have to be executed in the respective dialog box. The detailing style dialog can also be accessed using the dialog box described below and then the style can be modified or a new detailing style can be created.

Tip: Please take care that the settings of scale and scaling of the component part are correct. Please refer to the chapter “Detailing” and carefully read through the chapter “Dimensioning Style”.
