Adding and removing jogs on coordinate dimensions

Jogs are added automatically where they are needed when you use the Automatic Coordinate Dimension command.

When placing dimensions manually using the Coordinate Dimension command, you can select the Enable automatic jogging option on the Lines and Coordinate tab to create jogs and to space the lines and text as each dimension is placed.

You can insert one or more jogs manually into existing dimension projection lines to improve their formatting. Use the Select command to select the dimension (1), and then hold the Alt key as you click to add the jogs to the projection line (2).

You can reposition a jog by dragging the jog segment (3).

You also can modify the shape of a projection line by dragging a vertex handle (4).

You can drag a jogged projection line to reposition the dimension. Adjacent dimensions are adjusted to make room for it, and jogs are added as needed to prevent overlap.

In the Draft environment, you can:

• Remove all of the jogs from a coordinate dimension by first selecting the dimension and then selecting the Jog button on the Dimension command bar.

• Remove a single jog from a coordinate dimension by selecting the dimension, and then using Alt+click on the vertex you want to remove.
