Placement Options Dialog Box (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use this dialog box to override the distance snap settings during this command session.

Use distance snap for placement

Forces power dimensions to use distance snaps regardless of the settings made in AMOPTIONS.

Snap value

Sets snap distance for the current command session. As you drag the dimension line, the dimension line “snaps” in place as you approach the snap distance. Selecting this option enables you to place the dimension at a precise distance from the origins of the extension lines.
