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 arc.

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 File:Dimension Radius.png Dimension Radius button
  3. A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.

Options

None.

Properties

  • 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.

Scripting

Radius dimensions can be added to Pages using Python.

dim1 = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject('TechDraw::DrawViewDimension','Dimension')
dim1.Type = "Radius"
dim1.References2D=[(view1, 'Edge1')]
rc = page.addView(dim1)
