Hi,

I am enquiring about the dimension lines in SE 14.

Can anybody help me. How to create the dimension lines offset like a funnel while it is in stack up type from a common datum and the lines are too close.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Edgeomatic,

Is there a way to modify the default settings for dimensions like prefix zero for dimensions,fonts,etc...

Thanks once again
 
To set defaults, it's best to open your normal drafting template file and add or modify dimension styles.
You can do this by selecting "Styles" from the "Format" pulldown. Choose "Dimension" from the "Style type" drop list. from there you can add or modify dimension styles to suit your needs.
 
Thanks Edgeomatic.

It works
