Feature Class Type: Dimension

A dimensioning consists of several related feature classes. When you add the Dimension Extension to an industry model, the dimensioning feature classes are created, as shown in the following illustration.

Data Model: A dimensioning feature class consists of several related feature classes.

Dimension Parent: This attribute table does not store any geometry.

Dimension Table

Description

 

<dimension>

FID

Primary key

DIMENSION_TYPE

Type of dimensioning:

AA = Aligned Abscissa Only

AT = Aligned Text Only

AC = Aligned Complete

OC = Orthogonal Complete

OE = Orthogonal Extension Baseline

Dimension Children: These tables store the geometry.

Dimension Point Child

Description

 

<dimension>_P

 

Stores the points at the start and endpoints of the measure line, such as abscissas and ordinates.

POINT_TYPE

AS = Start of orthogonal abscissa.

AE = End of orthogonal abscissa.

AE_ = End of orthogonal abscissa, not to be displayed.

OS = Start of orthogonal ordinate.

OE = End of orthogonal ordinate.

S = Start of aligned line, abscissa.

E = End of aligned line, abscissa.

LINE_TYPE

AL = Aligned line, abscissa.

AL_ = Aligned line, abscissa, not to be displayed.

HL = Help line for dimension.

HL_ = Help line for dimension, not to be displayed.

OO = Orthogonal ordinate.

OA = Orthogonal abscissa.

OAE = Orthogonal abscissa extension.

OAB = Orthogonal baseline abscissa.

OFFSET

Stores the offset of the measure line.

MEASURED_A

Measured dimension of aligned line or orthogonal abscissa.

MEASURED_O

Measured dimension of orthogonal ordinate.

CALCULATED_A

Calculated dimension of aligned line or orthogonal abscissa.

CALCULATED_O

Calculated dimension of orthogonal ordinate.

Label

 
 

<dimension>_TBL

 

The label feature class stores the measure label texts. See also Feature Class Type: Label

Dimension Label Line

Description

 

<dimension>_HL

 

Stores lines that are related to labels, for example lines that point to the feature where the label belongs to.
