This sounds reasonable. However, note that the "Dimension Style" can be changed individually for every dimension. I'm not sure whether the dimension style should be a per-page or per-dimension option. I believe that ISO and ASME should not exist on the same page, but someone might want to mix e.g. the two ISO options on a same page. I always use the same style for all the dimensions, so I'd prefer a per-page choice.wandererfan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 1:33 pm The easiest change is to have all dimensions apply the same gap. Doing it on a per dimension basis is more work, but not particularly tricky.

Re: Dimension extension lines
@wandererfan : Hello!
I made a few drawings and stumble across the new feature. The ISO has as default no gap, it should be per default 0. (Never saw in my life a gap between).

Re: Dimension extension lines
A second thing, which i noticed: the settings in the preferences seems to be ignored. When the setting is 0 (or any other value), the dimensions have still the value 8.00.

Re: Dimension extension lines
Those of us who have been doing technical drawing for more than 40 years longed for that way of dimensioning. ISO 129-1:2004(E) allows it.

Re: Dimension extension lines
My bad. The preference is "ISOGap" in one place and "GapISO" in another. The fix will be along shortly.
If the code doesn't find "ISOGap" it uses 8.0 as the default.
Thanks for finding this.

Re: Dimension extension lines
I agree. Where the Standard has a default setting for something, that should indeed be the FC default.
Where someone wants to use an alternative, but still Standard-compliant option, they will have to set it.
