Permanent Dimension Placement Enhancements
You can dimension to the following:
Intersection points of lines, grids, reference planes, and location lines (for walls).
The center of arcs, when placing a linear dimension. The center mark of the arc does not need to be
visible to dimension to it.
Adding Text to Dimension Values
You can add supplemental text above, below, or to the left or right of a permanent dimension value. You
can also replace permanent dimension values with text. See
Replacing Permanent Dimension Values with Text
Spot Elevation Enhancements
You can display the top and bottom elevation of elements with a definite thickness. Top and bottom
elevations are available for elements in plan views. See
You can place spot elevations with a leader, a leader and a shoulder, or without a leader. See
Spot Elevation Dimension
You can add supplementary text to spot elevations. See
Dimensions
The Rotate with Component type property is now available for spot elevations. This allows spot elevations
to maintain their location relative to the referenced element when the element is rotated. You can specify
this type property in the Element Properties dialog for the spot elevation.
Spot Coordinate Enhancements
You can display the elevation of the selected point with spot coordinates. See
280.
You can add supplementary text to spot coordinates. See
Dimensions
The Rotate with Component type property is now available for spot coordinates. This allows spot
coordinates to maintain their location relative to the referenced element when the element is rotated.
You can specify this type property in the Element Properties dialog for the spot coordinate.
Grid Bubble Enhancements
You can control whether grid bubbles display at either end of a grid line. You can do this graphically for
individual grid lines in a view, or for all grid lines of a particular type by changing type properties.
In the grid type properties, you can specify default locations of grid bubbles for horizontal grid lines in
plan views and vertical grid lines in elevation views.
See Showing and Hiding Grid Bubbles
Creating Grid Gaps and Grid Segments
When defining a grid type, you can specify that grid lines display a center segment or a gap. You can
specify the default length of end segments. For a center segment, you can specify a different line color,
weight, and style. See
