Select base dimension: Select a linear, ordinate, or angular dimension
Otherwise, the program skips this prompt and uses the dimension object that
was last created in the current session. If the base dimension is linear or
angular, the following prompt is displayed:
Specify a second extension line origin (page 281) or [Undo
(page 281)/Select (page 282)] <Select>: Specify a point, enter an option,
or press Enter to select a base dimension
If the base dimension is ordinate, the following prompt is displayed:
Specify
feature location (page 281) or [Undo/Select] <Select>:
To end the command, press Enter twice, or press Esc. The current dimension
style determines the appearance of the text.
Second Extension Line Origin By default, the first extension line of the base
dimension is used as the extension line origin for the baseline dimension. To
override this default behavior, explicitly select the base dimension; the
extension line origin becomes the extension line of the base dimension closest
to the pick point of the selection. When you select a second point, the baseline
dimension is drawn and the Specify a Second Extension Line Origin prompt
is redisplayed. To end the command, press Esc. To select another linear,
ordinate, or angular dimension to use as the basis for the baseline dimension,
press Enter.
Feature Location Uses the endpoint of the base dimension as the endpoint
for the baseline dimension; you are prompted for the next feature location.
When you select a feature location, the baseline dimension is drawn and the
Specify Feature Location prompt is redisplayed. To select another linear,
ordinate, or angular dimension to use as the basis for the baseline dimension,
press Enter.
Undo Undoes the last baseline dimension entered during this command
session.
