solidworks2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 measures that align lisp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Align how? Do you want to select the dimensions you want to align and then select the dimension you want to align to? You need to provide us with with more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grrr Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Align how? Do you want to select the dimensions you want to align and then select the dimension you want to align to? You need to provide us with with more information. Not sure how exactly he wants, but I was looking for a similar lisp (doing the same result).

ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Try rkent's suggestion: DIMSPACE, pick the dims, use 0 for value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostafa badran Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Try DIMCONTINUE command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Try DIMCONTINUE command. How would DIMCONTINUE work if the dimensions had already been erroneously placed in a drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 QDIM would not be a solution if the dimensions were already placed in the drawing as per the top image in post #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The top image is brought by another guy and not the OP if we all here are close to what the OP planning to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I believe the OP and Grrr have the same problem: they are trying to fix dimensions that have already been placed without regard for lining them up. Therefore QDIM and DIMCONTINUE will not solve their problem. DIMSPACE would solve the problem; so would a custom lisp routine but I don't have one. The only other option I can think of would be to QSELECT all dimensions, erase them, then do them correctly using QDIM or DIMCONTINUE. I don't think either user wants to do that.

Grrr Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Try rkent's suggestion: DIMSPACE, pick the dims, use 0 for value. It actually did the job! But still left the problem with ext lines(see pic) EDIT: sorry that I started messing with my problems - maybe this will solve OP's requirement (although you can see 2 main problems - on the right side of the 2nd picture) Try DIMCONTINUE command. Won't help when using lisp routine such as ASMI's PDIM (autodimensions polyline) - see 2nd picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I would not consider the image on the right to be good in one very important aspect. The nodes do not fall on the geometry that is being dimensioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grrr Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I would not consider the image on the right to be good in one very important aspect. The nodes do not fall on the geometry that is being dimensioned. I was aware of that, still found a way to fix the problem in order to keep the same length of the extension lines no matter where the nodes fall: turning on the fixed length on ext lines (DIMFIXLON) for the dimstyle. The only problem that remains is somehow to flip the direction of the nodes (in order to point towards the object - see at 2nd pic the dimensions at the bottom) - its often caused by autodimensioning intersections. Gotta say that dimspace 0 almost does the whole job, big THANK YOU from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 You should not have three continuous dimensions AND and an overall dimension. Either leave the overall dimension off or eliminate one of the three dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grrr Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Sorry, thats just a reflex from my work. Earlier I've been doing overall dimension and splitting it using lisp routine(but it was kinda slower than autodimensioning). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
