📏 What Insert – Auto does

This dimensioning command inserts dimensions automatically around the outside of the roof.

Running dimensions are automatically inserted along the top, right, bottom and left hand sides of the roof model.

The following diagram shows the perimeter dimensions.

🔁 Toggle behaviour (insert/delete)

This button is a ‘toggle’ button – select it once to insert dimensions, select again to delete them.

If Zones are present on the model, it ignores USER1-4 lines, as these may be in the corners and could make dimensions quite overcrowded.


🔠 Dimension text size and scaling

The size of the dimension text is controlled by the settings in [Setup > Preferences > Dimension Defaults] and are automatically scaled to suit the size of the job.

The scale is proportional to the size of the job and may need adjusting using the [View > Plot Scale] function.
