Dimension Baseline

Menu: Dimension / Dimension Baseline

Toolbox Icon:

Draws dimensions using several points along a baseline. Points are set for each measurement position. The distance measured is the vertical or horizontal distance to the measurement points.

Each distance is measured from the first point.

Point 1-n: Points to be measured

Point n+1: Location for dimension information The Dimension Baseline window allows you to determine whether the horizontal or vertical distance will be measured.

First set a point for the base measurement point. Then set points for the other measurement points. Finally set a point for the location of the dimension text. Click the middle mouse button or press Enter. The dimension is drawn using the points.

NOTE: The other options available in this command are the same ones available in the Dimension command. See Dimension. You can also set dimension parameters globally in the program Options. See Dimension Options.
