Description
The Dimension_Link tool creates a link between 3D geometry and 1 or more Dimensions on a Page. This link allows the Dimension to use actual 3D values instead of 2D projected values.
How to use
- Create your Dimension on the drawing page as usual.
- Select geometry (ex an Edge) in the 3D model view that corresponds to one of your Dimensions.
- Press the
TechDraw Dimension_Link button - A dialog will open. Select 1 or more Dimensions to be linked to the selected 3D geometry.
- Press "OK"
Options
None.
Properties
- The MeasureType property of a linked Dimension will be changed from "Projected" to "True".
Scripting
Dimensions can be linked to 3D geometry using Python.

Limitations
- Dimension links are very sensitive to the "Topological Naming" problem. It is recommended that linking Dimensions be one of the last steps in your process.
- The Link tool will not stop you from making illogical links.
