Connect Handles Modify Handles Dimension Text Handles Break Line Handles Shared Connect Point Text Position Snap to Center Jog Snap Position Selected Dimension Display with Hidden or Modified Components Extension Line along Projection Line Terminator Handle 2014-05-13 Restricted Siemens AG 2014 Page 7 Siemens PLM Software #SEU15UK Dimension and Annotation Usability - Dimensions Handle colors have been added ( Solid Edge Options) to help understand the different types of handles such as connect handles or modify handles.

3 Connect Handle This is the handle at which the annotation is connected to another object. Modify Handles These are the handles that can be dragged to manipulate the annotation display. Terminator Handle This is the handle to bring up the terminator dialog box. 2014-05-13 Restricted Siemens AG 2014 Page 11 Siemens PLM Software #SEU15UK Dimension and Annotation Usability Dimensions Break line dimensions display a modify handle at the text end of the break line. This handle is used to change the length of the break line. 2014-05-13 Restricted Siemens AG 2014 Page 12 Siemens PLM Software #SEU15UK Dimension and Annotation Usability Dimensions Chain and Stacked Dimensions Shared connect point handles will only display one modify handle for both dimensions. If the modify handle is moved it will move both extension lines at the same time. ( Shift+Drag will move only the highlighted modify connection point.) 2014-05-13 Restricted Siemens AG 2014 Page 14 Siemens PLM Software #SEU15UK Dimension and Annotation Usability Dimensions Text Position Snap A new indicator has been added to display the midpoint on a dimension line.

This does not change the jog behavior. It is just displaying feedback to where the jog is removed. 2014-05-13 Restricted Siemens AG 2014 Page 16 Siemens PLM Software #SEU15UK Dimension and Annotation Usability Dimensions* Selected Dimension Display with Hidden or Modified Components. Projection lines and Dimension lines can now be hidden with a left mouse click on the Terminator Handle. 2014-05-13 Restricted Siemens AG 2014 Page 18 Siemens PLM Software #SEU15UK Dimension and Annotation Usability Dimensions Extension Line along Projection Line When an Projection line is shorten, a dashed line is visible to display where the connection point for that dimension is located.
