Description

The Dimension_Radius tool adds a radius dimension to a View. The dimension may be applied to any Edge in the drawing which is a circle or circular arcs.

How to use

1. Select a circle or circular arc in the drawing. (Note some arcs which appear to be circular are actually ellipses or BSplines. You cannot make a radius dimension in these cases)
2. Press the 16 TechDraw Dimension_Radius button
3. A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.

Options

None.

• DataX: Horizontal position of the dimension text relative to the View.
• DataY: Vertical position of the dimension text relative to the View.
• DataFont: The name of the font to use for the dimension text.
• DataFontsize: Dimension text size in mm.
• DataFormatSpec: Allows additional text to be added to the dimension text. Dimension value will replace %value%.
• DataLineWidth: Dimension line weight.
• DataType: Length,radius,diameter, etc. Not normally manipulated by the end user.
• DataMeasureType: "True" - based on 3D geometry or "Projected" - based on the drawing. Not normally manipulated directly by the end user.

dim1.Type = "Radius"
dim1.References2D=[(view1, 'Edge1')]
