Drawing dimension lines

You tin can depict dimension lines to indicate the distance between 2 points in a cartoon or the size of objects. Yous can add several types of dimension lines:

•

Parallel dimension lines measure the actual distance betwixt two nodes.

•

Vertical or horizontal dimension lines measure out the vertical (y-centrality) or horizontal (x-axis) distance between any ii nodes.

•

Angular dimension lines measure angles.

•

Segment dimension lines measure the linear distance betwixt the terminate nodes of a segment, or the linear distance between the ii most distant nodes in multiple segments. Segment dimension lines can besides measure out selected successive segments.

Dimension lines from left to right: Angular, Horizontal, and Vertical

Yous tin set how dimension text and lines are displayed. For example, yous tin choose the unit of measurement, specify the position and font of the dimension units, and add together a prefix or suffix to dimension text. You can also set default values for all new dimension lines that yous create.

Y'all can customize the extension lines on which dimension lines rest. You tin can specify the distance between the extension lines and the object that is measured, and the length of the extension overhang. Extension overhang is the portion of the extension line that falls across the dimension arrows.

Y'all can customize dimension lines by specifying values for the extension overhang, extension line, and distance from object.

By default, dimension text is dynamic. If you resize the object to which a dimension line is attached, the dimension text is updated automatically to display the new size. You can make the dimension text static, nonetheless, if necessary.

To exist able to use dimension lines with precision, you need to snap them to specific nodes in objects. For more information virtually snapping and snapping modes, meet Snapping objects.

To depict a vertical, horizontal, or parallel dimension line

1.

Practice ane of the following:

•

To depict a parallel dimension line, click the Parallel dimension tool in the toolbox.

•

To draw a vertical or horizontal dimension line, click the Horizontal or vertical dimension tool .

2.

Click to identify the starting point, and elevate to where you desire to place the endpoint of the dimension line.

3.

Motion the arrow to position the dimension line, and click to identify the dimension text.

By default, dimension text is centered on the dimension line.

To draw an athwart dimension line

i.

In the toolbox, click the arrow in the bottom-right corner of the Parallel dimension tool button to open up the Dimension tools flyout, and click the Angular dimension tool .

two.

Click where you want the two lines that measure the angle to intersect, and elevate to where y'all want the showtime line to finish.

3.

Click where y'all want the second line to finish.

4.

Click where y'all want the bending characterization to announced.

To depict a segment dimension line

ane.

In the toolbox, click the arrow in the lesser-right corner of the Parallel dimension tool button to open up the Dimension tools flyout, and click the Segment dimension tool .

2.

Click the segment that you want to measure.

3.

Motion the arrow to where you want to position the dimension line, and click where you desire to place the dimension text.

You lot tin also
Measure the distance between the two most distant nodes in multiple segments	Using the Segment dimension tool , marquee select the segments, drag to position the dimension line, and click where y'all want to place the dimension text.
Measure successive segments automatically	Click the Automatic successive dimensioning push on the property bar, and marquee select the segments that you want to measure. Drag to position the dimension line, and click where you want to place the dimension text.

Segment dimension lines tin be applied automatically to selected successive segments.

To fix the display of dimension units

2.

On the holding bar, cull options from the post-obit list boxes:

•

Dimension style — lets y'all choose fractional, decimal or standard dimension units

•

Dimension precision — lets you lot cull a level of precision for the measurements

•

Dimension units — lets you cull the unit of measurement

You can besides
Hide dimension units	Click the Display units button .
Specify the position of dimension units	Click the Text position button on the belongings bar, and click a text position.
Change the bespeak size and font of dimension units	Select the dimension text by using the Pick tool . On the property bar, cull a font style from the Font listing box, and type a value in the Font size box.
Specify a prefix or suffix for dimension text	Type a prefix or suffix in the Prefix or Suffix box on the belongings bar.
Hibernate or show a leading zero with a dimension value	Click the Leading zero push on the property bar. (The leading nada appears in dimension lines by default.)
Brand dimension text static	Click the Dynamic dimensioning button . Most dimension line controls on the belongings bar become unavailable. If yous change the size of the object to which the dimension line is fastened, the dimension line text is not updated.

To set default backdrop for new dimension lines

1.

From the toolbox, double-click the Parallel dimension tool push button.

The Dimension tool page of the Options dialog box appears.

2.

Specify the dimension style, precision, and units, prefix, and suffix.

To customize extension lines

2.

On the property bar, click the Extension lines options button .

iii.

To specify the distance between the extension lines and the object, enable the Distance from object check box, and type a value in the Distance box.

4.

To specify the length of the extension overhang, enable the Extension overhang check box, and type a value in the Distance box.
