DIMSPACE — Adjust Space

Adjusts the spacing between parallel linear dimensions.

• Command: DIMSPACE · Global name: _DIMSPACE · Alias: DSP
• Ribbon: Annotate › Dimensions

Makes the spacing between parallel linear dimensions equal: it places them at the same distance from one another starting from a base dimension, or aligns them all on the same line.

Usage

1. Enter DIMSPACE (or DSP).
2. Select the base dimension, the one that does not move.

Select base dimension:

3. Select the dimensions to space and press Enter.

Select dimensions to space:

4. Enter the spacing, or press Enter for the automatic one.

Enter value or [Auto] <Auto>:

Options

• Auto (A): the spacing is twice the text height of the base dimension's style.
• A number: the distance between consecutive dimension lines. With 0 the dimensions are aligned with the base.

Notes

• Only linear and aligned dimensions parallel to the base are moved; the others are discarded.
• They are sorted by their distance to the base and placed, in that order, towards the side of the base's dimension line.
• The text of the moved dimensions returns to its default position.
