Join Scott Onstott for an in-depth discussion in this video Dimension style overrides, part of AutoCAD: Working with Dimensions.
- In some occasions you might want to create…dimension objects that have different properties.…And this is a perfect use of something called an override.…Let's go into the Dimensions Style,…type D, enter,…and click Override.…Now, this opens up the dialogue box…that we saw before when we were editing the Dimension Style.…The difference is that it says…Override Current Style up here.…Let me just Cancel out here.…
Go to Modify, and this just says Modify Dimension Style.…So it's the same information either way.…Cancel.…We want to do an Override now, so do Override.…And let's make some type of a change.…Go to symbols and arrows,…and let's make a really obvious change…which is a different arrowhead.…Let's choose Open30.…30 refers to the angle, by the way, 30 degrees.…OK and Close.…
Nothing seemed to change on the screen.…Everything looks as it did before.…The Override is good for the future.…So if I make new dimensions,…they'll appear with the overridden parameters.…Let's just explore that.…Create an aligned dimension.…Down here.…
