 Animate Dimension dialog box Options

Dimensions list box

Lists the dimensions that you can animate.

日

Value The value of the currently selected dimension (it does not change during the animation).

Lower Limit The smallest dimension value during the animation.

Upper Limit The largest value during the animation.

Steps/Cycle The number of times that the dimension value changes (equal size increments) when it moves from the upper limit to the lower limit (or vice versa).

Display Dimensions

Lets you display the original sketch dimensions during the animation.

r) Auto Dimension

Use the Auto Dimension command to create dimensions on selected curves and points according to a set of rules.

You can apply the following rules in any order.

 Create Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions on Lines

 Create Dimensions to Reference Axes

 Create Symmetric Dimensions

 Create Length Dimensions

 Create Adjacent Angles Driving and Automatic Dimensions You can create two types of dimensions.

Driving

Creates a dimension based on an expression. You can convert driving dimensions to reference dimensions.

Automatic

This type of dimensional constraint can only be created by auto dimensioning. Automatic dimensions remove degrees of freedom from the sketch, and act like a constant length or angle constraint with a value.

 When you drag sketch curves, automatic dimensions are relaxed, allowing you to shape the sketch. After the drag, the new shape will be constrained by the automatic dimensions again.

 If you add a constraint that conflicts with an automatic dimension, the automatic dimension is deleted.

 You can convert automatic dimensions into driving or reference dimensions.

All dimensions are displayed in the Part Navigator when Timestamp Order is turned off in the Unused Items→Sketch→Curves and Dimensions→Dimensions folder.

Why should I use it?

In Modeling, use this command to assist in creating a fully constrained sketch by removing all degrees of freedom from the selected curves.

In Drafting, use this command to fully dimension selected sketch curves in a drawing.

 Create Dimensions on curves automatically

This example shows how to automatically create dimensions on all the curves in a sketch by sorting the auto dimension rules.

1.

Double–click a sketch to edit it.

2.

Click Auto Dimension .

3.

Select all the curves to create dimensions.

4. Sort the Auto Dimensioning Rules in the following

order:

Create Dimensions to Reference Axes

Create Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions on Lines Create Length Dimensions

Create Adjacent Angles

Create Symmetric Dimensions

日 5.

In Dimension Type, select Automatic.

6. Click Show Result.

7. Click Undo Result.

8. Sort the Auto Dimensioning Rules into the following

order:

Create Symmetric Dimensions Create Length Dimensions

Create Dimensions to Reference Axes

Create Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions on Lines Create Adjacent Angles

9. Click Show Result.

10.

Choose another command or click Apply to create the dimensions.

 Auto Dimension dialog box Curves to Dimension

Select Object Lets you select curves and points.

Auto

Dimensioning Rules

Specify the rules for fully constraining the curves selected in the sketch. You can apply the rules in any order.

Create Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions on Lines

Create Dimensions to Reference Axes

日 Create Length Dimensions

Create Adjacent Angles

Creates angular dimensions between adjacent objects.

Create Symmetric Dimensions

Creates symmetric dimensions if there are any symmetric constraints or mirrored curves. The dimensions are created between these objects across the symmetry centerline

Dimension Type

Driving

Creates a dimension based on an expression. You can convert driving dimensions to reference dimensions.

Automatic

This type of dimensional constraint that can only be created by auto dimensioning.

日

Automatic dimensions fully constrain a sketch or selected curves. The

dimensions are updated as you drag the sketch curves. They remove degrees of freedom from the sketch but do not lock the values permanently. The automatic dimensions are not permanent. If you add a constraint that conflicts with an automatic dimension, the automatic dimension is deleted. You can convert automatic dimensions into driving dimensions.

Note See Common dialog box options for common options not discussed here.

s) Continuous Auto Dimensioning

Use the Continuous Auto Dimensioning command to automatically dimension sketch curves after each operation.

This command uses auto dimensioning rules to fully constrain the active sketch, including positioning dimensions to the parent Datum CSYS.

You can set auto dimensioning rules from the following:

 Inferred Constraints and Dimensions

 File→Utilities→Customer Defaults→Sketch→Inferred Constraints and Dimensions→Dimensions

The Continuous Auto Dimensioning command creates the automatic dimension type of sketch dimension.

Automatic dimensions fully constrain a sketch. The dimensions are updated as you drag the sketch curves.

They remove degrees of freedom from the sketch but do not lock the values permanently. If you add a constraint that conflicts with an automatic dimension, the automatic dimension is deleted. You can convert automatic dimensions into driving dimensions.

Why should I use it?

In Modeling, use this command to ensure you are always working with a fully constrained sketch which will be updated predictably.

In Drafting, use this command to automatically create dimensions for all the curves that you create in a drawing.
