AutoCAD 2008 Tip Adjust the Dimension Spacing

You know you have seen them before, a series of baseline dimensions with differing spaces or adjusted manually until they look fine. You can use the DIMSPACE command to adjust the space to a set distance between them or use the default automatic. So I put together a quick example of using DIMSPACE.

 

From the Menu Dimension> Dimension Space

From the Dimension toolbar
 

From the AutoCAD Command Line: DIMSPACE

Before using DIMSPACE

Baseline dimensions selected

Completed with a consistent spacing between dimensions

For the smart buggers that need multiple ways or are currently shouting out the alternatives at their browser, yes you could also use QDIM to change the style or space as well and perhaps 3 or more others ways to accomplish it but I was trying to focus on DIMSPACE. ;-)

Cheers
