Dimension: Attach


The Attach parameters control the linking characteristics of the Dimension graphic.

The Dynamic check box lets the Snap distance vary with Zoom. When checked the units for Snap defined as units of the size of the Control Handles. This is usually the best method to define the Snap distance. When checked the Snap responsivity will adapt as you zoom in or out. When not checked the distance is specified in the units of the drawing.

The Steps parameter determines how many target points there are on a single line (or curve) segment of a potential graphic. The popup menu may be used to select halves, thirds, quarters, and tenths. Each line segment of a graphic is divided into this many sub-segments. A connector may be attached at any vertex (segment end) and at the specified intervals along a segment. For example, a rectangle would offer a total of 12 attach points if resolution is set to thirds.

These parameters may also be accessed on the Connector palette. The above link provides additional documentation on these parameters
