In general, dimension rules control the placement of dimensions, and dimension styles control the appearance, including the units, of dimensions in orthographic drawings. However, dimension styles and dimension rules interact in complex ways. There are two methods you can use to cause dimensions to display in drawings. Automatic dimensioning and manual dimensioning place dimensions in native format drawings.

For automatic dimensioning, the view style controls whether or not dimensions are placed. For manual dimensioning, you edit an existing drawing and place dimensions manually.

  • The Save As command saves drawings from the database to files and presents additional considerations about dimensions. The files created by theSave As command can be native format or a foreign format such as MicroStation or AutoCAD. With the Save As command, the software attempts to replicate dimensions as they are shown within a drawing.

  • Isometric drawings use the isometric options settings within their style to determine the dimension appearance, placement, and units. See Isometric Drawing Styles.

Assigning dimension units is different for each method.

How do you want to assign dimension units?
