Dimension Lines

Consists of controls that affect the general appearance of dimension elements.

Dimension Lines category controls

Level

If on, sets the level on which dimensions are placed, overriding the Active Level.

Key-in: DIMENSION LEVEL [ACTIVE]

or

Key-in: DIMENSION LEVEL [level]

or

Key-in: LD= ACTIVE

or

Key-in: LD= <level>

Override Level Symbology

If on, dimension attribute settings override the level symbology settings for dimension placement.

Stack Offset

Sets the space, in working units, between dimension lines in stacked dimensions. If 0.0 (the default), a reasonable value based on text size and orientation is computed. Set Stack Offset to a value other than 0 only if you need constant spacing between dimension lines.

Attributes

Contains controls that can be used to override the active element attributes for the dimension line — the line between the terminators that contains the dimension value.

If a check box to the left of a control is off, dimensions are placed with the active attribute, and the control to the right is dimmed. If the check box is on, the control for setting the override is enabled. Each control is analogous to a control in the Element Attributes dialog box, which is opened by choosing Attributes from the Element menu.

If no Attributes overrides are on, those components are placed with the current active attributes.

Setting	Range	Key-in
Color	From 0-255	DIMENSION COLOR [ACTIVE | <color> | <value>]
(Line) Style	From 0-7	None
(Line) Weight	From 0-31	DIMENSION WEIGHT [ACTIVE | <value>]

The active dimension settings can be set to match those of a dimension element with the Match All Element Settings tool.
