Creating Overall Dimension

Overall Dimension lets you create a dimension on the overall length of several electrical components, a dimension having a start and an end point, taken as a whole. The Overall Dimension command is available in the part's context. You can reuse a reference measure point (3D marker) for the creation of another overall dimension.

  1. Hover the pointer over the different segments to see the measure points.
    The visible measure points for supports and protections are the entry and exit points. Ctrl + hover over the support or protection to show the middle measure point.
  2. Click the required measure points.
