Description
The TechDraw ExtensionCreateObliqueCoordDimension tool creates oblique coordinate dimensions: multiple evenly spaced dimensions starting from the same baseline.
On the right the created dimensions
Usage
- Optionally specify the cascade spacing with the
TechDraw ExtensionSelectLineAttributes tool. - Select three or more vertices.
- The selection order of the first two vertices determines the position of the baseline. If the vertex that is selected first is to the left of the second, the baseline is created at the leftmost vertex, else it is created at the rightmost vertex.
- The first two vertices also define the direction.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- introduced in 1.0: If the Dimensioning tools preference is set to
Single tool(default): press the down arrow to the right of the
button and select the 
Oblique Coordinate Dimension option from the dropdown. - If this preference has a different value (and in 0.21 and below): press the Oblique Coordinate Dimension button.
- Select the TechDraw → Format/Organize Dimensions → Oblique Coordinate Dimension option from the menu.
- introduced in 1.0: If the Dimensioning tools preference is set to
- Coordinate dimensions with centered dimension texts are created.
