Tool dimensions

The information in this article applies to:. The dimension lines locate walls and openings as specified in Dimension Defaults dialog. Auto Exterior Dimensions do not generate properly if there is a gap in the exterior walls. These dimensions can be edited individually. There are a maximum of three rows of automatically generated dimensions per exterior wall direction. The innermost dimension line locates exterior walls, interior walls, and all openings in exterior walls.

The second dimension line locates exterior and interior walls. The outermost dimension line is the overall exterior dimension. Back to top. The dimension line snaps to each object, ignoring any other objects located between either end.

End to End Dimensions locate objects as specified in the Dimension Defaults dialog. If you click or release the mouse within 3" of an object using the Point to Point Dimension tool, that object is located. If no object can be found near the beginning or end of the dimension line, a point marker is created. Point markers can be selected and edited. If the objects or point markers located by a Point to Point Dimension line are moved, the dimension updates to reflect the change.

Objects and point markers located by a Point to Point Dimension line can be accurately relocated by specifying new dimension values. The Angular Dimension tool displays the angle between any two straight edges, including lines, walls, the sides of boxes, the straight sides of polylines, cabinets, and soffits.

Click the first line, then drag and release on the second. The line start and end points should be as close as possible to the objects. Do not pull the angular dimension past the object as you might with a normal straight dimension line. Angular Dimensions can be selected and moved by dragging from a handle along the arc in its middle. The dimension moves to maintain the location of its own arc center. If one of the dimensioned objects is moved, the angular dimension adjusts, but may have to be moved manually to a more visible position.

Any straight line or side within a CAD block can be dimensioned, as well. Edges nested up to four levels deep within a CAD block can be dimensioned. This toggle affects all views and is saved between launches of Home Designer. That's how I did it, but you gotta be careful, a couple of thou either way and it won't fit.

I just researched this, as just finished making 6 more BXA tool holders. I saw two main sets of numbers for BXA. One was. I measured the 7 tool holders I already had and found they matched the first set. But both sets of numbers are correct after doing the trig. The 2nd set has the same L2 width as first set, it is just deeper and therefore wider at the bottom.

It will just have a slight amount of extra depth clearance. Both will fit the same tool post and tighten correctly. Would not worry too much which set of numbers you choose to use.
