Deleting a dimension...

Llian — Tue, 30 May 2023 13:10:17 GMT

Is there a way where I can delete a specific dimension say 800 without affecting the rest ?
I can delete it if I dimensioned each section separately..but this is time consuming.

If you click 'on' the line below the 800 (the middle to be precise), you can select only that section of the line and delete it.

You can also select just a node and delete that also.
Delete the node at the end and that last dimension will disappear.
Delete a node inside of the dimension and the two adjoining dimensions will merge into one.

Also look at all of the options in the pet palette when you click on a dimension.
Where you click will bring up different options.

The places you can click on a dimension are the nodes, the centre of the line between two nodes, anywhere else in the line or the text.
Experiment a little (and read the manual) - you may be surprised at what you are missing.
