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 vertexes.
- The selection order of the first two vertexes 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 vertexes 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 
Create Oblique Coordinate Dimensions option from the dropdown. - If this preference has a different value (and in 0.21 and below): press the Create Oblique Coordinate Dimensions button.
- Select the TechDraw → Extensions: Dimensions → Create Oblique Coordinate Dimensions option from the menu.
- introduced in 1.0: If the Dimensioning tools preference is set to
