Dimension Calculator to add/subtract selected dimensions and optionally place the total into the drawing as annotation.
Keyboard Command: DimObjCal
You can use associative and non associative dimensions in both add and subtract modes. Each option is explained in detail below.
- Add Mode: While in this mode all dimension values are added to the running total.
- Subtract Mode: While in this mode all dimension values are subtracted from the running total.
- Value: This lets you set the new current value. You may wish to type in a starting value, then add or subtract from that, instead of 0.
- Place: To place the current running value into the drawing as an annotation. You will prompted for the option to update an existing annotation, or create a new one.
- Group: Allows you to select multiple dimensions to be added or subtracted, depending on the current mode.
