Detail Style-Dimensioning - Single Parts-Reference Points tab

Here, you select the treatments for which you want to attach single part dimensions in the detail and determine the dimension points as well as the position of dimension chains.

Tip: For the essential settings on this dialog tab, please refer to the general descriptions of defaults —Dimensioning Chain Settings topic.

List of Dimensioning Groups

The following dimensioning groups can be added: 
Modifications
Outer Contour Running of outer contour
Inner Contour Running of inner contours (inner sections)
Drill holes as plan view Drill holes which can be seen as visible or invisible hole circle
Drill holes as view Drill holes which can be seen as intersection or hidden solid
Angle of intersection Diagonal edges of components in the outer contour
Radius center Centers of radii in outer and inner contour
Special Dimensions
Reference Points Dimensions of the position of the two reference points
US-Cope American lengths and depths for copes at the end
Local reference planes Position of reference planes (connection profile) when reference is set to the connection profile
Part Groups
Fittings Dimensions of the position of integrated fitting elements at concrete panels 

Special Forms of Dimensioning

Apart from the usual dimension of outer contour and drill holes over length and width of the component part, you can select different other forms of dimensioning for single parts, too. 
Outer Contour / Inner Contour
Standard Normal dimensioning over the outer contour in dimensioning direction
Individual outside Each edge is individually dimensioned in its alignment; placing outside
Individual inside Each edge is individually dimensioned in its alignment; placing inside
Standard + Individual outside Combination of Standard and Individual edges outside
Standard + Individual inside Combination of Standard and Individual edges inside
Min / Max Min/Max contour dimensioning (see  ‘outer contour’)
Standard + Min / Max Combination of Standard and Min/Max (see ‘outer contour’)
Drill Holes
Common Normal dimensioning over the drill holes in dimensioning direction
Reference to Edge The holes are dimensioned to the next edge of the component part
Hole Groups Groups of identical holes are dimensioned once in transversal direction
Common + Edges Combination of standard dimensioning and reference to edge
Hole Groups + Edges Combination of hole group dimensioning and reference to edge
Angle of Intersection
Angle towards Vertical Line The angle towards the imaginary vertical reference line (opening angle)
Angle towards Horizontal Line The angle towards the horizontal component direction (material angle)
Bevel Symbol Bevel symbol (triangle) of the edge related to reference length or -height

Examples

The following examples show you the results of the different extended forms of dimensioning for single parts:

Reference to Edge (1) and Individual Edges (2)

The holes are related perpendicularly to the following edge of the plate; the edges of a plate are dimensioned individually.

Min/Max (1)

At a hollow shape, the maximum extension of the interior wall (A) is dimensioned with the dimension chain (C) and the minimum extension is dimensioned with the dimension chains (B). Possible cut-outs haven’t any influence.

Min/Max (2)

At a standard shape the longest exterior area on the upper and lower side is dimensioned with a single measure at a time despite the cut-outs.



Reference to Edge Inside/Outside

The outer contour is dimensioned with the combination of standard dimensioning and individual edges inside (only the diagonal edges are dimensioned with individual dimensions).  The inner contour is dimensioned with the combination of standard dimensioning and individual edges outside (all edges are always dimensioned with individual dimensions).  



Common Drill Holes (1)

The drill holes are dimensioned in a common dimension chain at the edge.

Hole Groups (2)

Inner hole groups are dimensioned separately in their own dimension chains.
