Modify dimensioning in batches

2009-02-24View Original

Thread Content

There are many foreign drawings marked in imperial units. Now they need to be adjusted to mm units with one decimal place.; Because of the scale and misalignment, what I do now is find a scale factor based on the scale so that the size is 1: 1 Then re-label, this method is more troublesome. Is there a better way? If it is secondary development content, then you need help to complete it~ Some of the annotations are not in proportion, and there is a slight deviation.

It depends on how good the original drawing is and whether it is drawn accurately. If it is accurate drawing, there are two methods that come to mind:: 1. Directly scale the ratio, and the scaling factor is the conversion factor between metric and imperial systems. And control the accuracy of labeling to the required decimal multiple. 2. Modify the dimension style directly and modify the scale factor to 1/25.4. Also control the accuracy.

The quality of foreigners' drawings is not very good, and many of them are not to scale. This is troublesome, and you can only re-label them one by one. If they are drawn to scale, it is simple, follow the method mentioned on the second floor. You must save it as to modify it. There must be some dimensions that have suffix and suffix tolerances, etc., and you have to modify them step by step.

First of all, you need to determine whether the drawing is drawn to scale. If it is to scale, it will be easy to handle. If it is not to scale, it will be difficult to handle.

The problem now is that not all the drawings are to scale, what should I do?

For those who are familiar with drawing, the first step is to redefine and correct the text style and label style. When this happens, reset the scale factor according to the relationship between the imperial system and the metric system, and all labels can be changed.; The second step is to go directly to the formatting toolbar to re-establish the annotation style, so that all annotations will be automatically corrected.

Work hard and change them one by one. If there is no better way, just use this stupidest method.

Explode dimensions and modify text

You have three ways: 1. Since the ratios are different, you have to scale them one by one and change the units. 2. Explode and modify the label text. 3. Scale the column and re-label it.
