INTRODUCTION:

Accurate Dimensioning play a crucial role in conveying precise

information for design, manufacturing and construction purposes.

Accurate dimension ensure precision in measurement and

providing clear information about size and geometry of objects.

Dimensioning in AutoCAD refers to the process of adding

measurement and annotation to a drawing to convey the accurate
shape, size and position of object accurately.

AutoCAD provides a set of tools and commands specifically designed

for creating and managing dimension within drawings.

Dimensioning allows engineers, architects to provide necessary

information for different objects.

1. Linear Dimensions:
• Represent the distance between two points in a
straight line. Common linear dimensions include
horizontal, vertical, and aligned dimensions.

2. Angular Dimensions:
• Measure the angle formed by two lines or
edges. Angular dimensions are used to specify
the orientation of objects

• Type "UNITS" in the command line and press Enter. This

opens the Drawing Units dialog box.
• Length Type: Choose the unit type for length (e.g.,
Decimal, Architectural, Engineering).
• Insertion Scale: Define the scale for inserted blocks.
• Angle: Set the unit type for angles (e.g., Decimal
Degrees, Degrees/Minutes/Seconds).
• Specify the precision for measurements. This determines
the number of decimal places displayed in your
dimensions.
