Auto Generate Array Dimensions

brockwesterman — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 13:26:18 GMT

Hi all! I find myself pulling dimensions on arrays very often. Most common is a path array from one specified point to each member. I will attach a screen grab to give some context. Is there an automated way to do this? It would save me a tremendous amount of time! Thanks

BASELINE Dimensions should handle that for you [DIMBASELINE command -- read about it].

Oh that's great! how have I never known of this function!? How do I adjust the spacing on my dimensions? It is all running together when I pull BASELINE. Thanks again

Explain what you don't understand about the approach in what they marked as accepted solutions.

[@j.palmeL29YX 's QDIM suggestion may work for you in certain circumstances. But, for example, in the images in Messages 1 and 4, it may give you twice as many Dimensions as you want.]

No, but that command doesn't works for me. I need to take the distance between blocks, and when I tried to copy the "linear dimension" take the first point as a base and look like the image of the message

Do you just need to adjust the spacing as suggested below that message
