Hiding the Overline of Overridden Dimension Values
Use this procedure to hide the overline of overridden dimension values.
When you create an override for a dimension value—entering a different
value, hiding a text or a segment, adding a prefix/suffix—the override is marked
by a small overline above the changed value. The overline is useful for seeing
at a glance which values have been overridden.It is also useful when you have
hidden texts and segments, to select the hidden segment.
In some cases, however, you might want to hide the overline. The overline is
placed on the DEFPOINTS layer, and by default is not plotted. If you want to
hide it in the AutoCAD Architecture session as well, you need to hide the
DEFPOINTS layer.
1 In the Layer Properties toolbar, select the DEFPOINTS layer.
2 Click the light bulb icon to hide the layer.
NOTE Alternatively, you can hide the DEFPOINTS layer in the Layer Manager.
Changing the AEC Dimension Style
Use this procedure to change the style of an AEC dimension. AEC dimension
styles contain information about the objects to dimension, the number of
chains, and the display of the dimension. For information about how to define
AEC dimension styles, see AEC Dimension Styles on page 3415.
1 Select one or more AEC dimensions and double-click one of them.
2 Expand Basic, and expand General.
3 Select an AEC dimension style.
Specifying Object Dimension Points for an AEC Dimension
Use this procedure to specify the objects and points to be dimensioned
associatively for an AEC dimension in a particular display representation.
