Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 42116
Additional length of dimension-line for position and size dialog
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:11 UTC
Hello dear Helper. Please follow me. 1. Open new drawing 2. Draw a rectangle width 3mm by hight 2 mm 3. Introduce width dimension by choosing "main tool bar"" => "lines and arrows" => "dimension lines". 4. Draw the width dimension to correspond with width of rectangle => "3mm" 5. Read width and hight in the status bar on bottom => read 5,54 x 2,55 mm = NOK 6. Press "F4" => "Position and Size" => "Size" => read Width = 5,55 mm = NOK 5. If you want to change the size of the Dimension over the "F4" window an incorrect value occures. 6. The problem is basically the same when a vertical dimension is introduced. Ergo: setting horisontal and vertical dimensions does not work according to normal CAD criterias. Please present a solution. Many thanks in advance. 4. Introduce horisontal dimension
Priority changed.
Its a question if this is really a bug or not. A dimension line can be bigger than the definite size it is showing. This is the case when the space inbetween the line is too small to show the text and the arrows. If the space is big enough the size in the status bar is correct.
Reassigned.
AW: No, it's not a bug at the moment. The Pos&Size dialog on F4 is meant to det the object's dimension, it's not specialized to dimensioning objects. Text belongs to the object, so what You set there is the size of the object including the text. I agree that tis is not very useful in that case, so i pledge for an enchancement request to add something like 'length of dimension line' field to the dilaog if a dimension line is selected. This would also work with rotated dimension lines, where the size you edit is the width/height of the visible object in page coordinates at the moment. This values for the F4 dialog are a logic consequence for values editable for all kind of shapes. The common case is that the user has any kind of shape (or shapes) and wants all that shapes to have a specified size, regardless of rotation or else. AW->WG: Suggest enchancement request, close this one, please.
Changed this one to enhancement.
