Dimensioning the Sketch

You can use the Dimension option to produce a fully dimensioned sketch, which defines the dimensions of all entities with no degrees of freedom left unresolved.

Note: You can also access the Dimension function by right-clicking to open the popup menu and selecting Dimensions.

Using the Dimension option, you can:

• Measure entities.

• Interactively modify the actual dimensions of entities.

• Adjust the tolerance and precision of displayed dimensions.

• Delete or move displayed dimensions.

When assigning dimensions, you can use the icon to automatically update the sketch. See Dimensioning: Automatic Preview.

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 for dimensioning various entities.
