When you use automatic dimensioning, the view style controls whether or not dimensions are placed. The following flowchart shows how Update (for marine mode Drawings by Rule) and Update Now (for all other drawing types) assign units to automatically placed dimensions.
View Styles
A dimension rule within a view style triggers the automatic placement of dimensions in an orthographic drawing.
Dimension Rules
Dimension rules control the placement and appearance of automatic dimensions in the drawing.
Dimension Templates
The dimension rule is not responsible for assigning the dimension units to automatic dimensions. The dimension rule points to a dimension template XML file that influences the unit assignment.
Dimension Styles
You can determine the active style of a dimension by editing the drawing or drawing template in SmartSketch Drawing Editor.
Dimension Style Overrides
You can override dimension style settings in SmartSketch Drawing Editor.
