- [Instructor] Besides just dragging the dimensions around
and controlling their placement,
we're changing the properties in the property manager.
You can also change the display options.
And these are different for each different kind
of dimension.
So for example.
If I'm looking at this angular dimension,
if I right click on this
and go down to display options,
I here have a set of options
that I can use to change how
this is displayed.
I can offset the text
and show parenthesis just to list a few.
But each dimension style, or dimension type
has its own display options.
So this is the list for an angular dimension.
If I leave that one and go to this linear dimension
right click on that,
and go to display options,
you can see that I have a completely different list
of display options.
You can offset the text.
Center the dimension.
Show parenthesis or show as inspection.
These are going to be available
I believe to all the different dimension types.
From here the list will just grow based on
the type of dimension you select.
The one that I really want to highlight,
is the radius dimension options for display.
A lot of times, you're trying to use
the smart dimension tool, and you click
on a radius and maybe instead of the radius dimension,
you want to have a diameter.
You can right click on that dimension,
go to display options and say,
display as a diameter instead,
and switch that over.
That's a very helpful trick when you're doing
a lot of detailing and you can't quite
get your selections the way that you want to.
So, just remember that each dimension,
if you right click on it,
will have the display option available.
And you can choose from the different
sets based on the linear, angular or radial dimension.
