Show plate side marks on dimension leader lines

You can show plate side marks on dimension leader lines. The plate side marks indicate whether the dimension point is to the face or center of the part, for example, a plate, web, or flange.

  1. Open a drawing and select the desired dimensions.
  2. On the Drawing tab, click Properties > Dimension.
  3. In the Dimension Properties dialog box, go to the Marks tab, set Type under Plate side marks to Specified to manually control the symbol and insert plate side mark symbols in the drawing.

    The option Automatic is only available in intelligent drawings, which is the case when the advanced option XS_INTELLIGENT_DRAWING_ALLOWED is set to TRUE.

  4. Modify the other properties of the plate side marks as required:
    • Select the left and right plate side mark.

    • Set the mark size.

    • Adjust the mark color.

    • Set an offset for the mark from the dimension line.

  5. Click Modify.
