[M d N] | length of the line segment between points M and N |

Units
If page scale is set, actual units are used. Otherwise, tenths of mm are used.
Angles are given in tenths of a degree. For example, 90° is given as 900.
Hatching
Select a closed graphic object and choose a type of hatching in the Properties panel.
If two components with the same hatching type are displayed next to each other,
it is necessary to ensure that the hatching of the components is not linked. This
can be ensured by modifying the setting of these two values (or just one of these
values): Offset X
, Offset Y
. The upper picture shows an incorrect setting of hatching, the lower picture
shows the correct setting.
Dashed line
Select the line and set the line type in the Properties window. Use the Line type Scale property to change the size of the line segments. For example, a value of 1.3 increases the length of the line segments to 130%.
