Controls dimension line standout distances for the conditions listed below:

  • String and composite dimensions that are normally plotted as the middle layer of multi-layer dimensions.

  • Dimensioned messages, support dimensions and reference dimensions on the inner layer, but only when Dimensions > Piping Components and Features > Supports > Standout is not set.

  • Overall dimensions on the outer layer, but only when Overall is not set.

In the Composite Standout box, type a value that equals the required standout distance for string and composite dimensions on the middle layer in mm or inches. In the example below, Composite Standout is set to 18, so all dimension lines are 18 mm away from the pipe.

When you set the value to 0 (zero), which is the default setting, the standard dimension line standouts listed below are used depending on the Text Size setting:

  • Small

    • String / Composite Dimension Standout = 12 mm.

    • Messages / Support & Reference Dimension Standout = 6 mm.

    • Overall Dimension Standout = 18 mm.

  • Medium

    • String / Composite Dimension Standout = 1 4mm.

    • Messages / Support & Reference Dimension Standout = 7 mm.

    • Overall Dimension Standout = 21 mm.

  • Large

    • String / Composite Dimension Standout = 16 mm.

    • Messages / Support & Reference Dimension Standout = 8 mm.

    • Overall Dimension Standout = 24 mm.

  • XLarge

    • String / Composite Dimension Standout = 18 mm.

    • Messages / Support & Reference Dimension Standout = 9 mm.

    • Overall Dimension Standout = 27 mm.

  • XXLarge

    • String / Composite Dimension Standout = 20 mm.

    • Messages / Support & Reference Dimension Standout = 10 mm.

    • Overall Dimension Standout = 30 mm.

  • XXXLarge

    • String / Composite Dimension standout = 22 mm.

    • Messages / Support & Reference Dimension Standout = 11 mm.

    • Overall Dimension Standout = 33 mm.

  • Composite Standout is available only if Use text size is not selected.

  • The software ignores values greater than or equal to 11 mm and substitutes the appropriate standard dimension line standout distance.

  • The software uses values greater than 11 mm to set the dimension line standout distance for string and composite dimensions on the middle layer. The inner dimension layer for dimensioned messages, Support dimensions and reference dimensions are then be set to 0.5 x this distance, while the outer layer overall dimensions is set to 1.5 x this distance.
