DIMJOGLINE — Dimension, Jogged Linear

Adds or removes a jog line on a linear or aligned dimension.

• Command: DIMJOGLINE · Global name: _DIMJOGLINE · Alias: DJL
• Ribbon: Annotate › Dimensions

Adds a jog (a zigzag break) to the line of a linear or aligned dimension, to show that the measurement does not match the drawn length, or removes it.

Usage

1. Enter DIMJOGLINE (or DJL).
2. Select the linear or aligned dimension, or choose Remove.

Select dimension to add jog or [Remove]:

3. Specify where the jog goes on the dimension line, or press Enter to place it between the text and the first arrow.

Specify jog location (or press ENTER):

Options

• Remove (R): select the dimensions whose jog you want to remove and press Enter.

Select jogs to remove:

Notes

• A dimension has only one jog: if it already had one, the new one replaces it.
• The jog is saved in the dimension the way AutoCAD saves it (ACAD_DSTYLE_DIMJAG_POSITION extended data), so AutoCAD sees it and keeps it.
• Only linear and aligned dimensions are accepted.
