Creating Length Dimensions

Dimensions lets you create a length dimension annotation.

  • When the dimension supports are related to a parameter (sketch constraints, knowledge, etc) for which tolerances are still defined, they are set to the dimension tolerances.
  • Minimal distance can be created between canonical surfaces (revolution or planar surfaces) or the projected edge, in the current annotation plane, of a non-canonical surface.


Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape and activate the required view.
  1. Select the element for which the dimension needs to be created.
  2. Click in the 3D area to place the dimension.
