Overview #
DIMDRIVER (alias: DIMDR) is a DWGSeeCAD exclusive dimension-driven command. It links geometry objects with dimensions. When you modify the dimension value, the associated drawing geometry will automatically update to match the new dimension. This is different from standard associative dimensions; it drives shape changes from dimension values.
Command Prompt Sequence #
- Run DIMDRIVER command.
- Select the dimension that will act as the driving dimension.
- Input the new dimension value.
- Box select the geometric objects to be driven by this dimension.
Notes #
- DIMDRIVER is not available in standard AutoCAD, it is a unique DWGSeeCAD feature.
- Dimension driving works best for simple 2D mechanical sketches such as shafts and stepped parts.
- Over-constrained geometry may cause calculation failure or unexpected shape changes.
Application Scenarios #
Use DIMDRIVER for quick iterative mechanical sketching, especially for shaft drawings, stepped shafts, simple fixtures and standard parts. You can adjust sizes by directly editing dimension values without manually stretching geometry.
