New one-click dimension mode
- A new Edit Bar option (Both Ends) has been added to the linear dimension tools (Dimension Horizontal, Dimension Vertical, Dimension Aligned & Dimension Rotated).
- When enabled, the option allows linear dimensions to be placed with a reduced number of mouse clicks.
- As opposed to picking the start & end points for a linear dimension, and then setting projection line length via a 3rd mouse click, the new option simply requires a single click to identify an entity and a single click to specify the projection line length.
- The tool also works via click & drag – whereby a single click identifies the entity and the projection line length is set once the mouse button is released.
New Arc Length dimension tool/entity type
- A new dimension tool/entity type has been added (Dimension > Arc Length). As expected, the tool will allow the dimensioning of the length of an arc and the usual radial dimension options are applicable (Fixed Text, Text Mode, Text Width, Text Height, Dimension Setting).
- The tool simply requires you to pick the arc (to be dimensioned) and to specify the projection line length.
- The new tool can also be used when creating parametric dimensions (for resizable designs).
