TechDraw DimensionRepair

Description

The TechDraw DimensionRepair tool can adjust the 2D or 3D geometry references of a dimension. These references may become incorrect due to the "topological naming problem" or Hidden Line Removal.

See TechDraw LengthDimension for more on dimensions and the topological naming problem.

Usage

  1. Select the dimension to be corrected and, optionally, the new geometry references, points or edges, in the TechDraw View or in the 3D view.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Repair Dimension References button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Dimensions → Repair Dimension References option from the menu.
  3. The Dimension Repair task panel opens showing the selected dimension and the current geometry references.
  4. Select new geometry references if you have not done so already.
  5. Press the Replace References with Current Selection button.
  6. Press the OK button to update the dimension.
  7. If 3D references have been selected: optionally change the Measure Type property of the dimension to {{Value|True}}.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The TechDraw DimensionRepair tool cannot used in macros or from the Python console. Dimension reference properties can be updated using Python.
