Dimension Walls and Furniture

Standard dimensions can be placed for walls or portions of drawings. The actual dimension line can be placed anywhere on the drawing.

1. Click the Standard Dimension icon.
   
   
   
   

2. Bring the cursor to the drawing screen and right-click at the point to begin the dimension. (Right-click snaps to an end point. This provides for accurate dimensions.)
   
   

3. Bring the cursor to the point in the drawing where the dimension will end.
   
   

4. Right-click to end the selection. The dimension line attaches to the cursor. Move the cursor to an area in the drawing where you want the dimension line to appear and click to place it.
   
   
   
   Note: Right-clicking grabs onto the end of lines, whether it is panels or walls.

This feature allows you to make sure the walls are drawn to the correct dimensions. To dimension walls, the line drawn by the dimensioning tool must cross at least two walls.

1. Click on the Dimension tab of side menu.
   
   

2. Click the Dimension Wall icon.
   
   
   
   

3. Bring the cursor to the drawing and click outside of the left wall.
   
   

4. Bring the cursor past the opposite wall. Click to end the dimension string.
   
   
   
   Note:  These dimensions cannot be moved easily but do not have extension lines and can easily be moved out of line. These dimensions are best for verifying room dimensions then to remove and manually place other dimensions in a more appropriate location.

Running Dimension allows for a continuous string of dimensions to be connected in a straight line.

1. Click the Running Dimensions icon.
   
   
   
   

2. Bring the cursor to the drawing and right-click at the point to begin the dimension.
   
   

3. Bring the cursor to the point in the drawing where the dimension will end. Right-click again.
   
   Note: The dimension line attaches to the cursor. Move the cursor to an area in the drawing where you want the dimension to appear and left click to place it. You must work right to left or left to right.

4. The Dimension Command is still active. To continue placing the running dimension lines, move the cursor to the next point to be dimensioned on that string and right-click. This will calculate the dimension and place the dimension line aligned with the first one.
   
   

5. Continue to move the cursor and right-click to add dimensions.
   
   

6. To begin a new dimension string or end the running dimension command click on Stop.
   
   

7. If you would like to begin a new dimension string, click on the Running Dimension icon again.
