Custom dimlunit for stationing |
|
|
Is there a way to create a custom dimension unit that will give me a stationing style dimension (100' = 1+00.00)? What is the Windows Desktop unit format? Can it be somehow customized? Thanks everyone for your help.

Im not sure if this will help you:
If you're using your titleblock (size a, b, c etc) as block
and insert it every time before starting drawing, you
may create a drawing style in your titleblock ( with ddim command) called, for instance, "100ft", and with scale factor 1200 in Primary Units tab.

| Still not sure exactly what you're trying to do but, stationing points usually have only one arrow and a leader don't they? Eliminating a leader can be done in dimstyles; as far as the units you mentioned, might try exploring the alternate units option along with tinkering with the scaling factors. |

What I am after is a dimension that will read, for example, 1+00 for 100 feet or 1+50 for 150 feet. What I want is the plus sign to be between the tens and hundreds spot. If there is a way I can get the dimension to read this way, I can use that style of annotation with the ordinate dimensioning and get the results that I am looking for. I don't think it can be done though.
