The Dimension Tool is responsible for creating Dimension Entities.

 

 

Creating a Dimension:

 

       Activate a Dimension Tool:

       Find one of the Dimension Line Tool icons on the Entity Toolbar (color coded blue) and click on the tool. The tool is now active and ready for use. This set of tools is part of a Flyout toolbar.

 

Creating the Dimension Line:

 

1. Aligned Dimension Tool (default): A linear dimension for objects with unusual shapes, or with edges at unusual angles; the dimension line will always parallel the imaginary line connecting the origins of the two extension lines.  

2. Linear Dimension Tool: A linear dimension that will either be oriented along either the X-axis or the Y-axis (your choice).

 

3. Ordinate Dimension Tool: A dimension of an X-axis or Y-axis point.

                               

4. Radial Dimension Tool: A dimension for the radius of a circle.

                               

5. Diametric Dimension Tool: A dimension for the diameter of a circle.

                               

6. Angular Dimension Tool: A dimension for an angle (in radians or degrees).
