Dindim tool: How to change already placed dimensions and existingdimension styles into a normal dimension style?
The Dindim functionality is stored as properties within the dimension style. You cannot change a dimension style, that was originally created with the dindim tool, into a normal dimension style by changing any settings in the dimension dialog box.
Two solutions:1. Change the dimensions into a non-Dindim dimension style2. You can change the existing dindim style by using the following key-ins and workflow:- select the dindim style in your file- run the following keyins:mdl load calculatcalculator mdlDimStyle_setBoolIntProp (mdlDimStyle_getActive(), 0, 1028)mdl load calculat calculator mdlDimStyle_setBoolIntProp (mdlDimStyle_getActive(), 0, 1045) mdl load calculat calculatormdlDimStyle_setDoubleProp (mdlDimStyle_getActive(), 0.1, 206) mdl loadcalculat calculator mdlDimStyle_setFontProp (mdlDimStyle_getActive(),Arial, 307)(can be done in a batch command)- save t he dindim dimension style.More information on the keyins to change these properties:// RoundLSDmdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setBoolIntProp(mdlDimStyle_getActive(), X, 1028) X = 0, false (default) X = 1 true(DinDim behavior)<(><<)> CR>// RoundLSDmdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setBoolIntProp(mdlDimStyle_getActive(), X, 1045) X = 0, false (de fault) X = 1 true(DinDim behavior)// Extension Offsetmdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setDoubleProp (mdlDimStyle_getActive(), X, 206) X = value in fractions of text height, ex.0.1// Extension Offsetmdl load calculat; calculator mdlDimStyle_setFontProp(mdlDimStyle_getActive(), X, 307) X = font number ex. 3 = engineering,182 = dindim
