Dimension Style - Elevation Marks

Elevation labels general

Text before the dimension value (prefix): You can insert additional text before each dimension value. For a standard dimension chain this option will only be required in individual cases. In such cases you can also add this prefix using the 'Modify' function for a single dimension chain.

Text after the dimension value (suffix): You can insert additional text after each dimension value. For example, you can place the unit after each number. Note: In architectural dimensioning the unit may change while the suffix remains the same.

Number of decimal places: The number of decimal places for the elevation labels.

Height of the elevation labels: Here you set the height of the triangle of the elevation labels. The value is measured on paper.

Architectural dimensioning for elevation labels

The dimension unit "Architecture" causes a special, space-saving formatting of dimensions within dimension chains:

• The base unit is meter. Only negative values are prefixed with a minus sign.

• The value 0.000 is displayed as 0 .

• Dimensions between 0.000 and 1.000 m are shown in centimeters: 0.290 as 29

• Two decimal places (centimeters) are shown. If the third decimal place (millimeter) is not 0, it is superscripted: 1.236 as 1.23^6^ / 0.295 as 29^5^.

For elevation labels a different formatting is appropriate; this has now been implemented and is applied automatically for elevation labels when the unit "Architecture" is selected.

• The base unit is meter. Positive values are prefixed with a plus sign, negative values with a minus sign.

• The value 0.000 is displayed as ±0.00 .

• Dimensions are always shown in meters with two decimal places (centimeters). If the third decimal place (millimeter) is not 0, it is superscripted: 1.236 as +1.23^6^ / 0.295 as +0.29^5^ / -5.340 as -5.34 / -4.564 as -4.56^4^

A dimension style now produces an appropriate formatting of dimension chains and elevation labels.
