Aligning Dimensions
Dimensions can be aligned with other dimensions. First, you identify an existing dimension and align the new dimension above, below, or adjacent to it.
Aligning Dimensions to Other Dimensions
To align a dimension:
1. Click
Modify and then, in the
Annotate group, click the arrow next to
Modify.
2. Click
Move Text & Line.
3. Click the dimension you want to move (point 1).
4. Click the reference dimension (point 2).
5. Drag the cursor to the new location.
6. Release the mouse button.
7. Repeat for other dimensions (point 3).
Aligning of dimensions applies to single dimensions and not group dimensions (a group of dimensions cannot be boxed because each dimension needs a specific shift-vector). Additionally, aligning dimensions does not apply to non-linear dimensions such as:
• Diameters
• Radii
• Arcs
