Dimensioning: Parts

Sometimes there may be a need to dimension the parts in assembly or single-part drawings so that copes or notches are not taken into account, for example, to estimate the space needed for transportation.

If you set this advanced option to TRUE, the overall dimensions are calculated to long points. If you set it to FALSE, the overall dimensions are calculated to cope points. FALSE is the default.

This advanced option is role specific. When the type SYSTEM(ROLE) is in use, the default value is used. When the type MODEL(ROLE) or DRAWING(ROLE) is in use, you can change the value, which is then the same for all users in the current model.

Example

In the example below, the upper dimension (the red one) shows the result when this advanced option is set to TRUE, and the lower one when it is set to FALSE (the green one).

Warning:

Using this advanced option will not affect the length of the part in the BOM, reports, or CNC.
