Drawing Entity Concepts - Dimension

The Dimension command insert a dimension of any orientation into Plan or Rotated Plan View in Model Mode or in Reports. As Drawing entities, they do not participate in the lighting calculations.

Technical Details

Small straight line segments and text make up the dimension, and their relationship is maintained during modification. That is to say, dimensions can be copied, moved, rotated, etc. and the dimension text and lines will remain intact. To modify an individual segment or modify the text, explode the dimension.

Dimensions are created using the current color and line type on the Properties toolbar.
