Usage: Click on this icon and you'll see the "Dimension Controls" window appear on the left hand side of the TransMagic interface:
Note: For complete instructions on creating dimensions, please see the "Creating and Editing Dimensions" Tutorial in the "Tutorials" section under "Query Tools".
Dimension Orientation - Click on the "X", "Y" or "Z" button to orient your dimensions in that reference plane. To help visualize these planes click on the "Show Axis" check box. Use the "Dimension Spacing" to set your initial spacing. Note that you can always freely click and drag your dimensions to another postion interactively. This setting simply gives your dimensions a guide for initial placement. At any time you can change your spacing or orientation by clicking on a dimension, and then clicking "Apply" to force that dimension into the spacing and orientation settings you have chosesn.
Interactive Dimension Behaviors:
- As you move your mouse around the entities in the display you will notice that the applicable selction types interactively highlight such as Face, Edge and Vertex.
- Click and drag from a Vertex to a Vertex, or a Face to a Face, or an Edge to an Edge to create the dimension.
Note: Like types must be selected and dragged to to create a dimension. If you click on a vertex and drag your mouse, for example, the final selection must be another vertex. Otherwise you will see the following message:
- After creating the dimension you can easily move the dimension by simply clicking on the dimension and dragging it to a new postion. A currently selected dimension will highlight. selecting the Cursor Pick Dimension Type, it's usage is as follows: Select the Dimension Tool. Left-Click anywhere on the part and drag - then release to show the dimension.

- If you click on one linear edge and then drag and click on another linear edge: If the edges are parallel then a distance dimension will be created; however, if the edges are at an angle to each other then this will launch the "Distance or Angle" dialog and prompt you to choose which dimension type you wish to create:
Clear Previous Dimensions - As the name implies check this box to clear any previous dimensions. Each time you create a new dimension the previous dimension will be cleard. In this way the Interactive Dimensioning interface becomes more of a real-time measuring interface.
Show Axis - Check this box to show a graphical axis element in the lower left-hand corner of the viewing window. This is helpful when trying to determine the initial dimension placement using the "Dimension Orientation" function above.
Create Manual Dimension:
Usage: This function is neccesary for certain types of dimensions. When you click Orbit, Pan, Zoom, or Window while in Interactive Dimensioning mode - to re-orient a part for example - this means that your mouse is necessary for this orientation operation and thus disables and takes control away from the Interactive Dimensioning mouse functions. An example of when this function is necessary:
- When you wish to create an overall dimension from a face on top of a part to a face on the bottom of the part. Selecting the top face is simple however in order to select the bottom face the part must be rotated so that the bottom face can be selected.
- In this case Manual Dimensioning is required.
- Click the 
Single Select icon. Then right-click and select Filter Selection->Face. Now you are ready to select only Faces.
- Click the Face on the top of the part, click the 
Orbit icon and orient the part so the bottom Face can be seen.
- Click the Single Select icon, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and select the bottom Face on the part.
- Click the Create Manual Dimension to create the dimension. The dimension will now be created.
- In order to move the dimension to a new location you must re-enter Interactive Dimensioning mode by clicking on the Create Interactive Dimension function.
