Dimensioning Summary
Dimensioning tools are used to show the actual output sizes of objects in Composer.
Dimensions are commonly used to aid in the installation process and as a sales tool for use in
customer proofs.
Dimension objects can be paper printed from Composer. You must be in Composer's Design
View to display dimensions in Print Preview and paper print them. Dimension objects may fail
to display or print if you are in Output View. To change the view in Composer, click View >
Design View.
Optionally, dimension objects can be viewed and output from GSPPlot by turning on Print
Dimension Information in the Layout dialog box. In addition, you must turn on View > Show
All or View > Show Print to display dimensions in GSPPlot. If View > Show Cut is active,
dimensions do not display.
Note: On Axis must be turned OFF in Composer to allow dimension tools to snap to the
corners or nodes of objects. On Axis can be found in the Layout menu or on the Layout tab of
the Tools > Options dialog box.
