Stretchy Witness Lines on Dimensions

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 13:13:28 GMT

would be a very welcome option to adjust the lengths on screen instead of using the parameter box and entering multiples of the offset distance to join up corresponding lines of dimensions. Alright I'm a neat freak

Hey Dennis,
Here's an early Christmas present for you.
You can do this graphically now.

Make sure your dimension tool is active then SHIFT click to select the node or nodes where you want to stretch the witness line.
You can also select the entire dimension - then all witness lines will stretch.
But usually you will just want one or two nodes.
Then drag one of these nodes and stretch it to where you want.

Or you can select the nodes then click and drag onj the dimension line to bring up the pet palette.
One of the options there is to "Edit length of witness line"

Ho, Ho, Ho.
Barry.
