Specify Dimension Style Options Regardless of whether you choose New, Modify, or Override in the Dimension Style Manager, the same set of options are available: ■ Lines sets the appearance and behavior of dimension lines and extension lines. ■ Symbols and Arrows sets the appearance and behavior of dimension arrowheads, center marks, and centerlines. ■ Text sets the dimension text appearance, placement, and alignment. ■ Fit sets options governing placement of dimension lines, extension lines, and text. It also includes the setting for automatic dimension scaling. ■ Primary Units sets the format (for example, scientific, decimal, architectural) and precision of linear and angular dimension units. ■ Alternate Units sets alternate unit format and precision. This feature supports dual dimensions that display, for example, both metric and imperial units. ■ Tolerances sets tolerance values and precision. NOTE Creating a dimension style to conform with industry or company standards requires agreement on many settings. It is important that your organization creates and maintains one or more official dimension styles. Create and Modify Dimension Styles | 141
