New option None to skip creation of dimension points

The dimensioning rule setting Measure from has a new option None, which you can use when you do not want to create any dimension points to the surrounding geometry.

New option Midpoint to start measuring from center point

The dimensioning rule setting Measure from has a new option Midpoint, which uses the center point of an object as the origin point for the dimensions. This option is useful for dimensioning bolt holes in a base plate, for example.

Midpoint is available for the Measure from options Main part, Current part and Part name in the Filter, Secondary parts, Holes, Recesses, and Neighbor parts dimensioning methods.

New option to measure only outside perimeter

The Edge shape dimensioning method has a new option Visible faces, parts merged, which dimensions only the outside perimeter of an assembly. Previously, there were two options, All faces and Visible faces, and now the latter one has been renamed to Visible faces, parts separated to clarify the difference to the new option Visible faces, parts merged. The new option is typically needed for trusses, when only the outside perimeter of the truss is dimensioned.

Example of Visible faces, parts merged:

Improved bolt group and array dimensioning

Bolt group and array dimensioning with the dimensioning type Filter has been improved so that each individual bolt is dimensioned with all dimension point location options (left, center, right, both). Previously, this was only working for bolt arrays, when the dimension point location was set to center.

The Only objects on the selected sides setting now works for bolt groups.
