Modifying Dimensions

Dimension Styles

Dimension definitions (styles) are configured in the isometric seed file. Although several dimension styles can be defined, the “active” style is the one used when generating the isometric drawing.

Stacked Fractions and Degree Symbol

A limited set of MicroStation fonts support the display of stacked fractions. An appropriate font must be set in the Text tab of the Dimension Style dialog. "1 WORKING" and "32 INTL_ENGINEERING" are examples of fonts that support stacked fractions

Dimension Components
