Quick Reference

A dimension style is a named collection of dimension settings that controls the appearance of dimensions, such as arrowhead style, text location, and lateral tolerances.

You create dimension styles to specify the format of dimensions quickly, and to ensure that dimensions conform to industry or project standards.

• When you create a dimension, it uses the settings of the current dimension style
• If you change a setting in a dimension style, all dimensions in a drawing that use the style update automatically
• You can create dimension substyles that, for specified types of dimensions, deviate from the current dimension style
• If necessary, you can override a dimension style temporarily
