In my next blog, we will look at placing isometric text. Do you have an example of what looks wrong Tenacious-Techhunter 5 yr. Any text, notes, arrow heads, dimensions, etc.
#DRAFTSIGHT DIMENSIONING IN MODELS SPACE FULL#
There is a checkbox that says 'display weight in graphics area' That will give you correct line appearances in paperspace. you will have full scale for model, and a scale factor of 12 for all other items. For dimensions A and B use an angle of 30 and -30 degrees respectively using the DIMTEDIT command. First off the path is: Options- Drafting Styles - Active Drafting Styles - Line Font - Line weight. The dimension text will now align with the dimension line. Type DIMTEDIT on the command line and press enter, then click on the dimension which you want to edit, I am selecting dimension C for this example.įrom the command line, select the Angle option and type an angle of 30 degrees then press enter.
#DRAFTSIGHT DIMENSIONING IN MODELS SPACE SOFTWARE#
The drawing space in a CAD software will keep the. You also need to make changes to the dimension text to make it look normal. Select Drawing as snapshot to CAD model space to avoid stretching of the shortened view in a CAD model space.
The dimension lines now look correct, but the dimension text isn’t properly aligned as per drawing. 'Scaling' the drawing in Model Space, as you. ISTR that Draftsight works pretty much the same way. That's somewhat simplified, but pretty much describes the process. Your final drawing will look like cube B above after using DIMEDIT on all three dimensions. In AutoCAD, you would make the drawing at 1:1 in Model Space, then put the format in Paper Space, and adjust the viewport scale so that the drawing fits within the format. Your dimension will now align with the geometry to make it look like an isometric dimension.įor dimensions B and C you can use the same method with the oblique angle of 30 and -30 respectively. That will give you correct line appearances in paperspace. There is a checkbox that says 'display weight in graphics area'. The command line will prompt you to select an angle to align this dimension. First off the path is: Options- Drafting Styles - Active Drafting Styles - Line Font - Line weight. Next click on the dimension marked A from the drawing shown above and press enter. Now type DIMEDIT on the command line and press enter, select oblique from the command line as shown in the image below. Place aligned dimensions A, B and C on the geometry as shown in drawing A above using the DIMALIGNED command. To help explain this feature we will use a simple isometric cube as shown in the image below.
