AutoCAD Dimensioning and Annotation 2

Question 1

Which dimension style override allows you to change the dimension unit format for a single dimension without modifying the parent style?

Accepted Answer

DIMOVERRIDE command

Answer

DIMOVERRIDE lets you change specific dimension variables for selected dimensions without altering the named style.

Question 2

What does the DIMJUST system variable control?

Accepted Answer

Horizontal justification of dimension text

Answer

DIMJUST controls the horizontal placement of dimension text relative to the dimension line (centered, left, right, or over extension lines).

Question 3

When using the LEADER command versus the MULTILEADER command, what is a key functional difference?

Accepted Answer

MULTILEADER supports multiple leader lines attached to one annotation block

Answer

MULTILEADER (MLEADER) allows multiple leader lines to converge on a single content block, while legacy LEADER creates a single leader with spline or straight segments.

Question 4

In a dimension style, what does setting 'Fit Options' to 'Text Only' do when space is tight between extension lines?

Accepted Answer

Moves only the text outside the extension lines while keeping arrows inside

Answer

The 'Text Only' fit option moves the dimension text outside when space is insufficient but attempts to keep the arrowheads between the extension lines.

Question 5

What is the purpose of the DIMTOH system variable in AutoCAD dimensioning?

Accepted Answer

Toggles horizontal text alignment in oblique dimensions

Answer

DIMTOH (Dimension Text Outside Horizontal) controls whether text placed outside the extension lines is forced to horizontal orientation.
