Drawing dimension lines
You can draw dimension lines to indicate the distance between two points in a drawing or the size of objects. You can add several types of
dimension lines:
• Parallel dimension lines measure the actual distance between two nodes.
• Vertical or horizontal dimension lines measure the vertical (y-axis) or horizontal (x-axis) distance between any two nodes.
• Angular dimension lines measure angles.
• Segment dimension lines measure the linear distance between the end nodes of a segment, or the linear distance between the two most
distant nodes in multiple segments. Segment dimension lines can also measure selected successive segments.
