Dimensioning for groups, subgroups, and sections

Mounting dimensions

Setting	Description
outer edges	Continuous dimensioning chains from the beginning to the end of the main part in a horizontal direction. Vertical from the main part edge or the insertion axis, mostly without closure dimensions.
Outer edges and hole dimensions	Dimensioning of the holes is preferred, dimensioning on the outer edges if no hole is available. Otherwise a similar option is "outer edges.
Subgroups	Only the available subgroups are dimensioned like a single part (outer edge). Horizontally from the beginning of the group to the end of the group, vertically from the reference point without closure dimensions.

Connection dimensions

Setting	Description
Outer edges	Continuous dimensioning chains from the beginning to the end of the main part in a horizontal direction. Vertical from the main part edge or the insertion axis, mostly without closure dimensions.
Outer edges and hole dimensions	Dimensioning of the holes is preferred, dimensioning on the outer edges if no hole is available. Dimensioning only in the secondary view. Otherwise a similar option is "outer edges.

Additional dimensions

Setting	Description
Reference	The distance between both main part reference points horizontally related to the total dimension of the group.
Diagonals	Dimensioning of diagonally running profiles in a longitudinal direction related to the system points of the center axis.

Total dimensions

Setting	Description
Radian dimensions	The arc length as well as the enclosed angle are given simultaneously in a longitudinal direction.
