Pen thickness and line type of dimension lines and dimension text

Dimension text and other dimension line texts in Allplan fonts

The pen thickness used for dimension text and other dimension line texts in Allplan fonts is defined in the same way as the pen thickness used for normal text in Allplan fonts. In other words, dimension text uses the pen thickness of the font set or the font height.

If both features are off, Allplan uses the settings currently defined in the Properties of the dimension line.

The pen thickness and line type used to display dimension text depend on the following factors:

• Defaults - Fonts: You can specify that text always uses the pen thickness set in the font defaults. Consequently, Allplan ignores all the settings described below.
  To access the font defaults, go to the Tools menu, click Defaults and then Fonts.
• Options - Text: You can specify that the pen thickness of text depends on the font height by selecting the Text relative to character height - Use fixed pen option.
  To access the options for Text, go to the Quick Access toolbar, click Options and then Text.
