Assigning Dimensions - Detail Procedure

The General Dimensioning Procedure describes how to dimension any type of entity. Since this procedure varies slightly according to the kind of dimension you are dimensioning, specific instructions are provided under the following headings:

Linear Dimensions within an Entity

• Length of a line

• Diameter of a circle

• Radius of an arc

Linear Dimensions between Entities

• Distance between two points

• Distance between parallel lines

• Distance between a point and a line

• Distance between a line and a circle/arc

• Distance between two circles/arcs

• Distance between two points, parallel to a line

• Distance between two circles/arcs, parallel to a line

• Distance between a Symmetry Line and a symmetrical entity

Angular Dimensions

• Angle between two lines

• Angle between three points

• Angle between a line and the horizontal/vertical axis.
