CHAPTER 11 'FORMWORK' 24 Dimensional Text: Position : Specifies the position of the text in relation to the dimension line. Specifically : i. Center-Middle : The text will be written in the middle of the dimension line and in the center of the dimension line, interrupting it. ii. Center-Up or Down : The text will be written in the center of the line up or down respectively, without interrupting it. iii. Left-Right : The text will be written to the left or right of the dimension line. This option is appropriate to use in cases where the dimension is smaller than the size of the text. Color : You select the color of the dimension text and thus the thickness with the which will be designed. Decimals : Give the number of decimal digits of the dimension texts. Multiplier : Specify a factor by which each dimension to be inserted will be multiplied. EXAMPLE: Let's say you have chosen centimetres as unit of length measurement, so all dimensions will be written in centimetres. By setting the "Multiplier" option to 0.01, all dimensions will automatically be given in metres (e.g. dimension 580 will be given in 5.80). Text before/after : Enter some text that you want to be displayed before or after the dimension. Size : Specify the size of the text in centimeters to scale. Text Offset : Specify the distance of the text from the dimension line. ATTENTION! If you activate located to the right of the parameters listed in the dialog box, the corresponding parameter of the dimension text already entered in your xylotype will be updated.
