Add sketched dimensions automatically for forward routing

During forward route creation only, when the Auto-Dimension option is checked on the context menu, sketched route segments are automatically created using normal sketched dimensions . It does not affect the route sketch previously created when this option is not checked.

Once a route is finished, sketched dimensions and driven dimensions can be switched using the Driven Dimension command.

  1. In the route environment, if the 3D Orthogonal Route tool is not activated, do any of the following:
    • On the ribbon, click Route tab Create panel Route , and then click the last route point you just created.
    • In the Model browser or graphics window, click the last route point and then click Route tab Create panel Route .
    • In the Model browser or graphics window, right-click the last route point and select Route.
  2. In the graphics window, right-click and select the Auto-Dimension check mark.
  3. Define the next route point.

    Sketched dimensions are added to the new route elements.

  4. To cancel creating sketched dimensions for forward route sketch, right-click and clear the Auto-Dimension check box.
  5. Continue with forward route creation.
