Surface Texture Symbol command bar

Sets options for surface finish symbols.

The options that are available depend on whether you are working in a draft document or in a model document.

Dimension Style Mapping

Specifies that the element-to-style mapping settings on the Dimension Style tab of the QY CAD Options dialog box determine the dimension style to use for placing dimensions and annotations. When you set this option, Dimension Style is unavailable.

Dimension Style

Lists and applies the available styles. This control is unavailable when Dimension Style Mapping is selected.

Properties

Displays the Surface Texture Symbol Properties dialog box for you to define and apply surface texture property settings. You can apply a saved setting by clicking the arrow and then selecting the name of the setting you want to apply.

Leader

Displays the leader line.

Angle

Specifies the orientation angle of the surface texture symbol.

Lock Dimension Plane

Sets the active dimension plane for the creation of PMI dimensions and annotations. The active dimension plane controls how values are calculated and how the text is displayed.

You are prompted to specify the dimension plane by clicking a planar face or reference plane. The plane remains locked until you unlock it by pressing F3.

Referenced Geometry

Specifies that you want to select multiple edges, faces, or surfaces to be referenced by a single PMI annotation. You also can select this option when editing the annotation, to add or remove reference elements. Use the Select Reference Geometry command bar to accept the selection set, and then return to the hosting command workflow to finish adding or editing the annotation.

For more information, see Select multiple reference elements.
