## Inserting Dimension Info Boxes

Edit Dimension Info dialog box

The Insert | Report Command | Dimension Info menu option brings up the Edit Dimension Info dialog box. This dialog allows you to create a DIMINFO command that displays selected dimensional information in the Graphics Display window. See "DIMINFO Command" for information on editing a DIMINFO command in the Edit Window.

Sample Dimension Info box

The dimension list inside the dialog box will show an asterisk (*) if the dimension already contains a DIMINFO text box and it will show a number sign (#) if the DIMINFO text box is hidden from view in the Graphics Display window.

The Auto check box (under the Dimension Info Format area of this dialog) automatically determines the appropriate dimension output format to display, based on the type of dimension that was selected. To override this option, select the desired Dimension Info format check box(es). PC-DMIS will indicate the order of the output selections by displaying a number to the left of the check box. This allows the order of the format to be altered to meet individual needs. You can clear a check box by simply selecting it a second time.

If this dialog box is open, you can click on a feature in the Graphics Display window to automatically highlight dimensions using that feature in the Dimension List box.

This Edit Dimension Info dialog box allows you to edit the dimension information being displayed. The following paragraphs describe the commands and options available to this dialog box.
