Handle dragging of dimension

[Gailwrath]

Here is another question. When I try to edit a part dimension by dragging the dimension handle the dimension are jumpping in 1mm intervals. Which config option controls the drag dimension interval size.

It's probably snapping on grid.


To turn snap off, Environment > uncheck Snap to Grid.


To change grid spacing, View > Draft Grid > Grid Params.


One more tip. In WF2, while you have Snap to Grid On, if you grab the dimension and move, it will not necessary snap on to the grid (it will only move in increment of grid spacing).
To make dimension snap onto grid lines, grab the handle by tip of arrowhead.

Nope, not snapping on grid, that would have been to easy. Actually the current issue is happening when I finish an extrude and and I try to drag the section close by hand before entering a dimension to finish the command. Only jumping in 1mm increments. I work on VERY small parts and this is no good. Using WF3 btw.

In config.pro


millimeter_grid_interval


Set the value to what you would like the interval to be.


There are also


inch_grid_interval


angle_grid_interval


etc...


Do a find inTools-->optionswith keyword "interval" and you'll find these and others.
