If you move a dimension that you already checked on the ‘Break Lines’ option for, across other lines, you may need to uncheck and recheck the option. As new dimensions are added, others need to be moved for clarity. Here, you also can modify the gap size.įinally, moving dimensions around the drawing are inevitable. If this is checked on, it will only, well, break around dimension arrows, and not the lines. Within the Document Properties, there is an option to have it only break around dimension arrows. If it does not, there is one other place to look to make sure the appropriate property is set.


Simply checking this option on should put the breaks across the dimension lines it crosses. If you choose the Leaders tab, there is an option to ‘Break Lines’. When you select on the dimension in question, the property manager appears (if not, see my previous blog). If you do not like this look, there is a property within SOLIDWORKS to modify this, and break the dimension lines. One issue is when displaying dimensions that are close together, especially diameter dimensions that are near linear dimensions, lines can cross each other. Luckily, SOLIDWORKS drawings offer some great tools for this. However, if you are in the second camp, or somewhere in between, that can be a challenge. If yours fall into the first category, you might not have to do too much to display everything you need clearly. Drawings can range from very simple, with just a few dimensions, to extremely complex, with multiple views and sheets and too many dimensions to count.
