DIMENSION TICK MARK

If you use a block for your dimension tick this command will insert a copy of that block. If it cannot locate the tick block or a block is not used it inserts a block from the "...\APS \Custom\" folder called "DIMTIK.DWG".

User configurable options: 

• Appearance of block - See Customizing standard symbol blocks

Layers:

• If you are using "No Layer Control" the symbol will be inserted on whatever layer is current. See the Layer Control section of the APS Configuration Utility.

• The default layer type for the tick is "Dimensions".
  • If you are using "Direct Layer Assignment" the layer name is assigned to this layer type in the Layer assignments portion of the Layer Control section of the APS-CONFIG command.
  • If you are using "Layer Schemes" the layer name is assigned to this layer type in the Assigning Layer Names to Layer Types portion of the SCHEMEDIT command.

  The layer type for this command can be changed in the Assigning Layer Types to Commands portion of the Layer Control section of the APS-CONFIG command.  

Known limitations:

• If you use one of AutoCAD's standard tick styles the "DIMTIK.DWG" block is inserted which does not necessarily match the style of your dimensions.

• Submit a limitation not listed.

Alternate uses:

• None reported. If you have an alternate use for this command submit it here.

SAMPLE TICK COMMAND SYNTAX:

For this example we will assume that a leader has been drawn perpendicular to a line as shown above.

Command: TICK

 

Specify tick point:

Select the point for the tick. The intersection object snap is added to your running snaps if it is not being used already.

 

Specify direction:

This is the rotation angle for the tick. With many of the tick symbols the direction does not affect the appearance much.
