• Vertical Dimension Line Tool.
Ideal for vertical dimension lines, the label information is
always presented vertically with the option to move the label by
dragging. Extension lines are used to present the dimension
line vertically and to allow for an optional offset.
•
Horizontal Dimension Line Tool.
As above but for horizontal dimension lines.
•
Slanted Dimension Line Tool.
Designed specifically for drawing diagonal dimension lines.

For an angular dimension, click the
Angular Dimension
Line Tool then click and drag from a corner node towards the
angle you want to measure (A). Release the mouse button over
the "target" angle, then move your mouse cursor to the next
corner node, then click on that node (B) to set the angle to be
measured.
To complete the dimension line, move the mouse again to
position the floating line and its label—note that they respond
independently—and click when they are where you want them
(C). (You can always change the positions later.) The dimension
line appears.
