AMCHAMDIMASSOC (System Variable)

Forces chamfer dimensions to be non-associative, when the DIMASSOC system variable is set to 2.

Type:Integer
Saved in:User-settings
Initial value:1

The behaviour of chamfer dimensions depend on both DIMASSOC and AMCHAMDIMASSOC, as shown below.

DIMASSOC AMCHAMDIMASSOC Impact
0 0,1 Creates exploded chamfer dimensions, as specified by the DIMASSOC system variable.

There is no association between the various elements of the dimension. The lines, arcs, arrowheads, and text of a dimension are drawn as separate objects.

1 0,1 Creates non-associative chamfer dimensions, as specified by the DIMASSOC system variable.

The elements of the dimension are formed into a single object. If one of the definition points of the dimension moves, the dimension is updated.

2 0 Creates non-associative chamfer dimensions, overriding the behaviour specified by the DIMASSOC system variable.

The elements of the dimension are formed into a single object. If one of the definition points of the dimension moves, the dimension is updated.

1 Creates associative chamfer dimensions, as specified by the DIMASSOC system variable.

The elements of the dimension are formed into a single object, and one or more definition points of the dimension are coupled with association points on geometric objects. If the association point on the geometric object moves, the dimension location, orientation, and value are updated.

Note: This system variable has no impact on chamfer dimensions created by the AMCHAM2D_DIM command. AMCHAM2D_DIM always creates non-associative dimensions.
