Question

Dimension properties

Hello,

Is it possible to apply the dimension properties of a previously created dimension to a new dimension or another dimension in the drawing environment? I send a lot of time creating dimensions from scratch and then going in and changing the individual properties of a dimension. Only to create more dimensions with the same exact properties, the only difference is the dimension value. It's very time consuming and redundant. Any help would be appreciated.

If you select multiple dimensions, you can adjust the properties of all the dimensions.

I am sorry I can't provide a screen shot but basically it's:

Properties Tab

Value and Display: Decimal places

Tolerance: Tolerance Mode, Tolerance Tab, Decimal places

Display

Prefix and Suffix

These are the main fields that I am constantly editing within my dimension properties. However not limited to just these because I need to edit witness display and text orientation on different occasions also.
