TechDraw HorizontalDimension

Description
The Dimension Horizontal tool adds a horizontal dimension to a View. The dimension may be between two vertices, the length of one edge or the horizontal distance between 2 edges. The distance will initially be the projected distance (ie as shown on the drawing), but this may be changed to the actual 3D distance using the tool.



Usage

 * 1) Select the points or edge which define your measurement.
 * 2) Press the  button
 * 3) A dimension will be added to the View.  The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.
 * 4) If needed, add tolerances as described in this page.

To change the dimension properties either double-clicking onto it in the drawing or double-click on the dimension object in the model tree. This will open the dimension dialog.

Limitations
Dimension objects are vulnerable to "topological naming" issues. See the information in the TechDraw Dimension Length tool for more information.

Properties
This object has the same properties as the TechDraw Dimension Length tool. See that tool for details.
