Thaumaturge Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Does any one know if there is a limit on the number of breaks which can be automatically made in a dimension line? If there is, can the limit me changed? Quote
ReMark Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Easy enough to test. Why would you need more than one break though? Quote
SLW210 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 No limits on the number that I know of. There are some limitations. The following dimension and leader objects do not support dimension breaks: •Multileaders (spline only) •“Legacy” leaders (straight or spline) The following table explains the conditions where dimension breaks do not work or are not supported. Dimension Break Exceptions Condition No break in xrefs or blocks Description Dimension breaks on dimensions or multileaders in xrefs and blocks are not supported. However, the objects in an xref or block can be used as the cutting edges for dimension breaks on dimensions or multileaders that are not in an xref or block. Condition No break on arrowhead and dimension text Description Dimension breaks cannot be placed on an arrowhead or the dimension text. If you want a break to appear at the dimension text, it is recommended to use the background mask option. If the intersecting point of an object and the dimension are at the arrowhead or dimension text, the break will not be displayed until the intersecting object, or dimension or multileader are moved. Condition No break on trans-spatial dimensions Description Automatic breaks are not supported for objects and dimensions or multileaders that are in different spaces. In order to break a dimension or multileader that is in a different space, you need to use the Manual option of the DIMBREAK command. You can move dimension breaks from dimensions or multileaders. When removing dimension breaks from a dimension or multileader, all dimension breaks are removed. If there are some dimension breaks that you don’t want to remove, you need to add them again. The following objects can be used as cutting edges when adding a dimension break: •Dimension •Leader •Line •Circle •Arc •Spline •Ellipse •Polyline •Text •Multiline text •Blocks but limited to the previously mentioned objects in this list •Xrefs but limited to the previously mentioned objects in this list Quote
