Can we get the drawing environment to automatically (or a choice at least) break dimension lines not just when it passes through text, but also when it crosses another dimension line
Hello Matt,
Would you want it to be able to break the dimension line, the extension line, both? Would this be done automatically or would it require user input? Would this be something similar to AMDIMBREAK or DIMBREAK within AutoCAD Mechanical & AutoCAD?
Thanks,
-Bryan
Wow! One of the first rules of drafting is NEVER have an extension line crossing a dimension line. If you follow the rules of good drafting practices you would not be asking for this option.
Auotdesk's guys should know better then do this kind of stuff. It really bothers me that the people creating the software do not actually know what it needs to do.
Yes, I am aware of the drafing standards. I've used two of them commercially for >30 years. However, simply because a standard exists shouldn't negate the fact that some users may have the need to modify their intellectual property as they see fit to accomodate their needs.
They may not be following any given standard, but they can still convey their design and manufacturing intent.
Hatching have a option for break by text or not. The option is on Document Settings. It would be super the same option for break dimension lines by text. Sometime I have to write more text boxes because big text box destroy dimensions lines.
It would also be great if we had an option for text boxes to only break dimension lines where there's actually text. This would pretty much always give the result you want without you having to worry about turning breaking text on or off.
I know how to make dimension without breaking lines. Projected dimensions are broken, actual dimensions are not broken.
In help I can't found how call this types of dimensions in english, but actual dimensions are primary in isometric views. The type can be changed in context menu of view.
This is function I tested in version 2016 and 2017.

This is pretty sad. I always loved AutoCAD for how easy it was to make nice looking drawings that met drafting standards. It looks like if I want to have a good looking drawings I have to export the views out of Inventor into AutoCAD. What a waste of time and loss of functionality. Fix the drafting!!! Why did you ruin it? MDT had parametrics and great drafting.
