DIMSTYLE (Command) Find
Current Dimension Style
Displays the name of the dimension style that is current. The default dimension style is STANDARD. The current style is applied to dimensions you create.
Styles
Lists dimension styles in the drawing. The current style is highlighted. Right-click in the list to display a shortcut menu with options to set the current style, rename styles, and delete styles. You cannot delete a style that is current or in use in the current drawing.
list. Select All Styles if you want to see all dimension styles in a drawing. Select Styles in Use if you want to see only the dimension styles currently used by dimensions in the drawing.
Preview
Shows a graphic representation of the style selected in the Styles list.
Description
Describes the style selected in the Styles list relative to the current style. If the description is longer than the space provided, you can click in the pane and use arrow keys to scroll down.
Set Current
Sets the style selected under Styles to current. The current style is applied to dimensions you create.
New
Displays the Create New Dimension Style dialog box, in which you can define a new dimension style.
Modify
Displays the Modify Dimension Styles dialog box, in which you can modify dimension styles. Dialog box options are identical to those in the New Dimension Style dialog box.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Display Alternate Units
Adds alternate measurement units to dimension text. Sets the DIMALT system variable to 1.
Alternate Units
Displays and sets the current alternate units format for all dimension types except Angular.
Unit Format
Sets the unit format for alternate units. (DIMALTU system variable)
The relative sizes of numbers in stacked fractions are based on DIMTFAC (in the same way that tolerance values use this system variable).
Precision
Sets the number of decimal places for alternate units. (DIMALTD system variable)
Multiplier for Alt Units
Specifies the multiplier used as the conversion factor between primary and alternate units. For example, to convert inches to millimeters, enter 25.4. The value has no effect on angular dimensions, and it is not applied to the rounding value or the plus or minus tolerance values. (DIMALTF system variable)
Round Distances To
Sets rounding rules for alternate units for all dimension types except Angular. If you enter a value of 0.25, all alternate measurements are rounded to the nearest 0.25 unit. If you enter a value of 1.0, all dimension measurements are rounded to the nearest integer. The number of digits displayed after the decimal point depends on the Precision setting. (DIMALTRND system variable)
Prefix
Includes a prefix in the alternate dimension text. You can enter text or use control codes to display special symbols. For example, entering the control code %%c displays the diameter symbol. (DIMAPOST system variable)
For more information, see Control Codes and Special Characters.
Suffix
Includes a suffix in the alternate dimension text. You can enter text or use control codes to display special symbols. For example, entering the text cm results in dimension text similar to that shown in the illustration. When you enter a suffix, it overrides any default suffixes. (DIMAPOST system variable)
For more information, see Control Codes and Special Characters.
Zero Suppression
Controls the suppression of leading and trailing zeros and of feet and inches that have a value of zero. (DIMALTZ system variable)
Sub-units factor
Sets the number of sub units to a unit. It is used to calculate the dimension distance in a sub unit when the distance is less than one unit. For example, enter 100 if the suffix is m and the sub-unit suffix is to display in cm.
0 Feet
Suppresses the feet portion of a feet-and-inches dimension when the distance is less than 1 foot. For example, 0'-6 1/2" becomes 6 1/2".
0 Inches
Suppresses the inches portion of a feet-and-inches dimension when the distance is an integral number of feet. For example, 1'-0" becomes 1'.
Placement
Controls the placement of alternate units in dimension text.
After Primary Value
Places alternate units after the primary units in dimension text.
Below Primary Value
Places alternate units below the primary units in dimension text.
Preview
Displays sample dimension images that show the effects of changes you make to dimension style settings.
