  1. Select Create > Dimension > Dimension Toolbar from the main menu to access the Dimensions form. The form contains illustrations of various types and styles of dimension.

  2. Select the required style of a linear or angular dimension leading to the Linear/Angular Dimensions form.

    Illustrations of linear dimensions also appear on the Linear Dimensions toolbar. The toolbar method of selecting a dimension style is more convenient than the use of the Create Linear Dimension and Create Angular Dimensions forms. See Create Linear Dimensions and Angular Dimensions.

    Dimensioning elements are created under Layers owned by Views, as shown in the diagram. Different types of dimension are created at different layers. All these elements will be created automatically as a View is dimensioned.
