Pen thickness and line type of dimension lines and dimension text

Dimension text and other dimension line text in Allplan fonts

The thickness of the pens used for dimension text and for other dimension line text in Allplan fonts is defined in the same way as for the thickness of the pens used for normal text in Allplan fonts. In other words, the dimension text is drawn either using the thickness of the font set or in compliance with the font height.

Or, if both of these features are disabled, the current settings in Properties are used.

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

• Font defaults: in the font definitions you can specify whether text is always to be drawn using the pen thickness you set there. In this case, you can ignore all the settings described in the section that follows.
  To access the font defaults, go to the Tools menu and click Defaults. Then click Fonts.
• Text options: in the Text options you can specify whether the pen thickness used for text is to be dependent on the font height.
  To access the Text module's options, go to the Tools menu and click Options. Then click Text.
