Because AutoCAD is a vector program (Vector) is mainly used for technical drawing. It is therefore important to tell the size of the workpiece and there is a group of tools specifically for measure the size and entity details, namely the tool group.

Annotate:Dimension

In the Dimension group there are also tools that are separated according to the size used. Types include

1 Linear Defines dimensions in a straight line (both vertically and horizontally).

2 Aligned tells dimensions parallel to the workpiece in all planes.

3 Angular tells us the size of the angle in degrees between two objects.

4 Arc Length tells the length of the arc (Arc) from the end of the arc.

5 Radius indicates the radius of a circle. or part of a circle

6 Diameter tells the diameter of a circle. or part of a circle

7 Jogged tells a scaled down version. used in such cases The radial line is very far from the workpiece.

8 Ordinate sizing based on a defined starting point.

For understanding See the figure 3 showing different dimensions below.

In the next chapter, we’ll look at how to use Dimension. Let’s follow cadcoms.com for more content.
