Dimensioning

There are four generic dimension types available in Draft, namely, Linear, Angular, Radial and Pitch Circle Diameter. These allow intelligent dimensions to be created to dimensioning standards.

Dimensions are calculated directly from the design model. The format, content, and appearance of the dimensions can be controlled. The administrator can define suitable project defaults.

As with labelling, direct reference to the design data means that the annotation always reflects the current state of the design model, with a simple update annotation operation.

Once the dimensions have been created, the position and orientation of dimensions can be adjusted graphically.
