AcadDimMode

This parameter has a significant impact on the conversion of dimensions.
Its usefulness becomes evident when converting a drawing from AutoCAD to ME10, especially when the drawing contains details.

In ME10, parts—by providing a scale—allow automatic management of dimensioning for details. This is not possible in AutoCAD. AutoCAD provides the system variable DIMLFAC to modify the dimension value. The issue is that DIMLFAC can be used in different contexts, not only for details, making it difficult to interpret the designer’s intent.

Some examples of how DIMLFAC is used in AutoCAD include:

Creating scaled detail views
Dimensioning a drawing with units different from the actual ones
Simulating half-diameter dimensions

The provided variable (AcadDimMode) allows managing these different scenarios:

AcadDimMode = 0
Configuration to be used for drawings created with TOP
AcadDimMode = 1
Configuration to be used for drawings created with AutoCAD
