• Create Linear Dimensions

  You can create linear dimensions with horizontal, vertical, and aligned dimension lines. These linear dimensions can also be stacked, or they can be created end to end.

• Create Radial Dimensions

  Radial dimensions measure the radii and diameters of arcs and circles with optional centerlines or a center mark.

• Create Angular Dimensions

  Angular dimensions measure the angle between two lines or three points.

• Create Ordinate Dimensions

  Ordinate dimensions measure the perpendicular distance from an origin point called the datum to a feature, such as a hole in a part. These dimensions prevent escalating errors by maintaining accurate offsets of the features from the datum.

• Create Arc Length Dimensions

  Arc length dimensions measure the distance along an arc or polyline arc segment.
