Move PMI elements in 3D


The Move Dimension command moves PMI dimensions and annotations. They move in a direction that is normal to the plane where they reside, adding extensions to the projection lines as needed.

  1. Select the Move Dimension command by doing one of the following:

    • In the ordered environment, select PMI tab→Tools group→Move Dimension , and then click the PMI element you want to move.

    • In the synchronous environment, right-click a PMI element in the graphics window or in PathFinder, and then choose Move Dimension.

  2. Specify the new location using one of these methods:

    • In the graphics window, move the cursor to the new location and then click.

      As you move the cursor, the PMI element is dynamically moved with it.

      Example:

      Before

      After

    • Specify a keypoint by doing the following:

      1. Click the Keypoints button on the command bar, and then select the type of keypoint you want to use from the list.

      2. Move the cursor to locate a keypoint, and then click to place the PMI element.

  3. Click the next dimension or annotation to move, or press Esc or click Select to exit the command.

Tip:

You can use Alt+drag to detach a PMI dimension or annotation from one model element and reattach it to a different model element. To learn how to do this, see Change the parent of a dimension by dragging it.
