Adding dimension lines and labels
DrawPlus lets you add dimension lines with text labels showing the
distance between two fixed points in a drawing, or the angle formed by
three points. For example, you can draw a dimension line along one side
of a box, measuring the distance between the two corner points. If you
resize the box, the line automatically follows suit, and its label text
updates to reflect the new measurement.
You’ll find dimension lines indispensable for planning garden designs
(e.g., a garden gazebo plan), technical diagrams, floor plans, or any
drawing where exact measurements and scale are important.
Although they can be drawn anywhere on the page, dimension lines are
at their most accurate when attached to connection points on objects or
when snapped to dynamic guides (see DrawPlus Help).
