Before using the command, set the Dimension style (DimStyle) to set the size of texts, arrows, etc. By default, the program uses the current style.

There are 2 options for using the command - in model space and on a layout. If you want to dimension the model, start by setting the correct user coordinate system (UCS). Most often the world coordinate system (UCS W) or a user-defined coordinate system on the face of the solid (UCS F) is used. Dimensions will be placed in the XY plane of the current coordinate system.

Then select all the necessary contours or solids and call the DimOverall command.

If you work with sheets (layout), then you can simply open the necessary sheet and immediately call the command. If nothing is selected, the program will find the viewport itself and select all objects that are visible in it. But you can go into the model through the viewport and select several objects and the program will work only with them. If there are many viewports on the layout, the program will ask you to select one of them.

Objects will be measured in the coordinate system of the current view (regardless of UCS). Dimensions will be saved in the paper space.

The program builds outer contours for all selected objects (see the description of the Outsize Loop command). This can take a long time. As the number of objects increases, the processing time increases exponentially. Therefore, try to choose contours in small groups, but not all at once.

You can abort the operation of the command by pressing Esc.

In the Common Options of A>V>C> plugins, you can disable layer management and select a template file for layers. In the CNC settings, you can assign layers whose objects are ignored. And in the same place, the style of the sizes is adjusted. All these settings will be available if you use the DimOverall command from the AVC Pro.

The program does not work with the Model Documentation views (which are built by the ViewBase command).
