Few inputs for cleaning dimensioning

Post by Pravin_Bhatiya »

HI, need some one help me with few changes in dimensions( might use some coding )
1. keeping some space between feature and dimension
2. snapping dimensions in one single line, creating jogs for dimensions arrows close,
3. breaking lines to avoid crossing dimension lines, unifying spacing between dimensions

and few more :?

Please substitute ALLCAPS title with normal title.

I don't get what you'd like to see. Please attach some examples on how you'd like it to look like.

How much experience do you have with FreeCAD? Maybe the help section would be more appropriate: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewforum.php?f=3

And please have a look at IMPORTANT: Please click here and read this first, before asking for help and provide your full FreeCAD information.

Thanks!

With a file it's better !

1) has been sugested before in the forum.
2) TechDraw_ExtensionCascadeHorizDimension ?

You can always modify the svg file with Inkscape.

hello,
1.thanks for your help me for 2 of my problems for equal spacing and Grouping dimensions
2. if you are suggesting to edit .svg for breaks in extension line and spacing between dimension and feature, it is to much work and repetitive work in next revisions of same drawing

I See, I'm not familiar with the American regulations. One of the active TD devs have to say something reguarding your wishes. I guess we'd need a way to switch between different regulations / styles.

Before making feature requests, you should always try the latest development version. Which is 0.20 at the time of writing.

actually most of the standards have Similar approach just few things here and there, these things should be included in editing (right click) for extension lines
