Gap between the extension lines of dimensions and the actual object is missing

Post by nagmat84 »

I am using FreeCAD 0.20.2. When I add a dimension to a 2D view of an object in the TechDraw workbench, there is no gap between the actual object and the extension lines of the dimension.

I am aware that version 0.21 will add a new feature to have individually sized gaps for extension lines, see pull request #7133.

I don't need individually sized gaps. It would totally be fine, if all extension lines had the same gap per drawing or even project-wide. I am somewhat sure that there was such a gap in FreeCAD 0.19. What am I missing?

Check this thread: viewtopic.php?t=68153

Basically, it's best to switch to 0.21, especially since it will be released as stable soon.

this is set in Preference > Dimensions but this only applies to new drawings, not by reopening old ones
