DIMINFO Command

The DIMINFO command is created by the Edit Dimension Info dialog box (Insert | Report Command | Dimension Info).

When a DIMINFO command has been inserted in the measurement routine, the dimension data is displayed in the Graphic Display window. The DIMINFO command can be modified in the Edit window. The command line for the DIMINFO command reads:

DIMINFO/Dim ID ;ICON,DIMID,FEATID,VERT,HORIZ; HEADINGS, "GRAPH OPTION";"DIMENSION OUTPUT”,  ,$
"AXES OUTPUT"

Dim ID - The ID of the dimension selected to be displayed.

ICON - A toggle string that shows a blank when it is OFF, and "ICON" when it is ON. When it is ON, the DIMINFO will display the dimension or feature ID with the appropriate icon.

DIMID - A toggle string that shows a blank when it is OFF, and "DIMID" when it is ON. When it is ON, the DIMINFO will display the dimension ID with the dimensional information.

FEATID - A toggle string that shows a blank when it is OFF, and "FEATID" when it is ON. When it is ON, the DIMINFO will display the ID of the dimension’s first feature with the dimensional information.

VERT - A toggle string that shows a blank when it is OFF, and "VERT" when it is ON. When it is ON, the DIMINFO will display with the vertical lines between the columns.

HORIZ - A toggle string that shows a blank when it is OFF, and "HORIZ" when it is ON. When it is ON, the DIMINFO will display with the horizontal lines between the rows.

HEADINGS - A toggle string that shows a blank when it is OFF and "HEADINGS" when it is ON. When it is ON, the column and row headers will be displayed in the Dimension Info box.

GRAPH OPTION - The graph option for graphical display of the dimension percentage in the Dimension Info box. Possible toggle values are GRAPH WORST and GRAPH AXIS. When the toggle string shows a blank, no graph will be show in the box.

DIMENSION OUTPUT - The format of the dimension information that will be displayed based on the order of selection. Available output options are MEAS, NOM, TOL, DEV, MAXMIN, OUTTOL, MEAN, STDDEV, and NUMPTS. Options cannot be duplicated.

AXES OUTPUT - The format of the dimension axes that will be displayed based on the order of selection. Available axes depend upon the dimension type and include all location and position axes. If USEDIM is toggled in the first axis position, the DIMINFO will display the axes that have been specified in the dimension. If WORST is toggled in any axis position, the axis that produced the largest out-of-tolerance value is displayed. This output is not available for dimensions that are not location or position dimensions. Axes cannot be duplicated.
