Dimension Systems

As dimension system commands work as in the Interactive Drafting workbench, this section of the documentation provides links to the Interactive Drafting User's Guide. As such, the information detailed in this section is presented in an Interactive Drafting context. You should note that the Interactive Drafting User's Guide contains images that correspond to the Interactive Drafting workbench and therefore illustrate dimension systems in an environment that is different from the 2D Layout for 3D Design environment (symbols and background color, for example).

Refer to Dimensioning in a 2D Layout for 3D Design Context which explains what is specific to creating dimensions in the 2D Layout for 3D Design workbench as opposed to doing so in the Interactive Drafting workbench.

 

Before you begin: You should be familiar with basic concepts.
