Dimension Generation

The Generative Drafting workbench provides a simple method for generating dimensions. Generated dimensions are associative to the elements created from a part or an assembly.

Note that for views that are generated from surfaces, only sketched constraints are generated.

	Before you begin Perform dimensions generation.
	Generate dimensions in one shot Generate dimensions in one shot from the constraints of a 3D part (distance, length, angle, radius and diameter constraints).
	Filter dimensions to be generated Set filters before dimension generation using the Dimension Generation Filters dialog box.
	Generate dimensions semi-automatically Generate dimensions step by step from the constraints of a 3D part (distance, length, angle, radius and diameter constraints).
	Analyze generated dimensions Perform an analysis of generated dimensions via the Generated Dimensions Analysis dialog box.
	Position dimensions Position dimensions (either generated dimensions or interactive dimensions) in a better way and on the active view exclusively.
	Analyze interfering dimensions Analyze dimensions that were generated and possibly re-positioned (Positioning icon) on the active view.
	Driving 3D constraints via generated dimensions Drive a 3D constraint via a 2D dimension that was generated from it.
