How to manage the line width of dimensions?

PCBTech
PCBTech over 1 year ago

Until now, by default, dimensions were added to the canvas with a zero-line width and required an extra effort to improve/enhance the lines.

Starting SPB 23.1, an option to edit the line width has been provided to apply a line width for all dimension lines globally.

1. To add/change the line width of a dimension, go to Manufacture > Dimension Environment.

    

2. Right-click on the design canvas and select Parameters to open the Dimensioning Parameters window. Here, a new option has been provided to add the line width to dimensions.

  

3. By default, Line Width is set to 0 in the Dimensioning Parameters window. Add a value against Line Width and click OK.

    

4. Now, right-click on the design canvas to choose the dimension type and add dimensions on the board.

    

5. You can see the dimensions have been drawn with the line width value you have mentioned.

    What release of the tool are you using, masamasa? This was introduced in the 23.1 software release. Is it possible you are on the 22.1 release?
