Dimension Length Calculation

Methods

The system calculates dimension lengths in different ways depending on the type of diagram, dimension start/end point and dimension type.

Table 24 displays dimension calculation methods for full scale diagrams.

Dimension Point (and Reverse)	Dimension Type	Calculation Method
From	To	Standard	Axial	Value
Node	Node	X		Sum of bundle lengths
Node	Dimension Node	X		Sum of bundle lengths
Dimension Node	Dimension Node	X		Sum of bundle lengths
Node	Node		X	Physical drawing length
Node	Dimension Node		X	Physical drawing length
Dimension Node	Dimension Node		X	Physical drawing length
Node	Symbol Datum		X	Physical drawing length
Dimension Node	Symbol Datum		X	Physical drawing length
Symbol Datum	Symbol Datum		X	Physical drawing length

Table 25 displays dimension calculation methods for non-full scale diagrams.

Dimension Point (and Reverse)	Dimension Type	Calculation Method
From	To	Standard	Axial	Value
Node	Node	X		Sum of bundle lengths
Node	Dimension Node	X		Sum of bundle lengths
Dimension Node	Dimension Node	X		Sum of bundle lengths
Node	Node		X	Sum of bundle lengths
Node	Dimension Node		X	Sum of bundle lengths
Dimension Node	Dimension Node		X	Sum of bundle lengths
Node	Symbol Datum	X	X	Manual
