Converting Dimension Lines

If you work with a model created with an earlier version of ARC+ (Version 11.03 and earlier), and you add dimensions created by the options available in Version 13, you will need to "convert" the properties of the earlier dimension lines to match those created by the new options. Similarly, there may be cases when you need to change the properties of new dimension lines to match those produced by the earlier commands e.g., when transferring models to a user of an earlier version.

Convert the properties of dimension lines created with options from earlier versions to match those of Version 13, or vice versa.

\dimconv

Specify conversion from old to new, or new to old.

Indicate dimension entities for conversion or press Enter to convert all dimensions.
