Editing Dimension Properties

You can specify properties on standard, reference, critical, or external dimensions, to display prefix / suffix text (Composite text) on the dimension such as tolerance values, or to denote a “Reference Only” dimension.

Properties are added to the Object Type Information (OTI) in the Capital database. See also Object Type Information in the Capital Project Manager User Guide, to create and edit the OTI in a project. Property values are displayed according to the styles defined in Capital Styling. See also “Properties” in the Capital Diagram Styling User Guide.
