Overriding Dimension Values and Hiding Dimension Segments
The dimension values in an AEC dimension are the real-life calculated values taken from the objects that are dimensioned.
When the dimensioned object is updated, the dimension value is updated accordingly. In some cases you might want
to override that value and exchange it for a manually inserted value.
Overriding dimension text with a new value
In other cases, you might want to retain the original value, but supplement it with a prefix or suffix.
Overriding dimension text with a suffix
Sometimes, you need to hide a dimension text or a whole dimension segment.
Overriding dimension text by hiding text
Overridden dimension values can be marked in different ways:
■
Each manually overridden value, hidden text, or prefixed/suffixed value, is marked by a short overline. For
information on how to hide the overline, see “
Hiding the Overline of Overridden Dimension Values ” on page 1876.
■
You can add an underline to each overridden value. For information, see “ Hiding the Overline of Overridden
Dimension Values ” on page 1876.
■
You can specify in the drawing setup to underline each override automatically. For information, see “ Global
Underline Options for Overrides ” on page 1875.
When you manually override a dimension value, the correct automatic value still exists. You can remove the override,
and restore the correct value again.
Overriding Dimension Values
Use this procedure to exchange an automatic dimension value for a manually inserted one, to add prefixes and suffixes
to dimension values, and to hide dimension texts and segments.
1 Select the dimension on which to override a dimension value, right-click, and click Override Text & Lines.
2 Click the value to override.
