Making the Most of Dimensions

In this chapter, you will learn how to place and modify various dimension types and styles to improve efficiency using these tools. You will also learn how to control appearance, standards, and settings when using the dimension tools. Once you have learned how to place dimensions more quickly, you must also learn how to modify these dimension objects to control their appearance and relationships with other objects in the drawing.

In this chapter, we’ll cover the following topics:

  • Working more efficiently with leaders
  • Using the hidden features of dimension commands
  • Using the new smart centerlines
  • Learning to manage your annotation scales
  • Learning to use obscure dimension commands

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to fully use the dimensioning commands and improve your overall understanding of how to control those dimensions.
