In our studies, we learned that dimension lines should extend slightly beyond the endpoints by 1-2 mm. However, in Tekla Structures, the default setting causes dimension lines to end flush with no extension. To achieve extended dimension lines, I need to manually adjust this setting for each project. It’s crucial to do this before generating drawings, as this option won’t affect dimensions that have already been created.

The extension option is not avaiable in dimension dialog box but can be found in main program options:
Menu > Settings > Options > Drawing Dimensions:
