Arrange dimensions automatically in a drawing

  1. In the Draft environment, choose Home tab→Dimensions group→Arrange Dimensions.

  2. Select dimensions by:

    • Clicking individual dimensions

    • Clicking the drawing view to select all dimensions

    • Fencing select dimensions

    Note:

    The color of the dimension line changes when selected.

  3. On the command bar, type a value in Stack Pitch.

  4. Turn Create Alignment Set on or off.

    Note:

    • The first time you use the Arrange Dimensions command, the Create Alignment Set option is on . Turn this off when you want to arrange the selected dimensions, but not group them into an alignment set.

    • Because Create Alignment Set is a user preference, the most recent on or off state is retained the next time the Arrange Dimensions command is used.

    • While selected symmetric diameter dimensions are arranged, they will not be included in the alignment set.

    • Turning Create Alignment Set on or off overrides alignment sets created with the Maintain Alignment Set command in the Dimension group.

  5. Click Accept to use the current input or Deselect to clear the selection.
