The Dimension Diameter tool adds a diameter dimension to a View. The dimension may be applied to any circular in the drawing. 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 {{Button|[[Image:TechDraw_Dimension_Link.svg|16px]] [[TechDraw_Dimension_Link|Link Dimension]]}} tool.
The '''TechDraw DiameterDimension''' tool adds a diameter dimension to a View. The dimension may be applied to any edge which is a circle or circular arc.

==Usage== <!--T:3-->

<!--T:10-->
# Select a circular edge in the drawing. (Note some arcs which appear to be circular are actually ellipses or BSplines. You cannot make a diameter dimension in these cases)
# Press the {{Button|[[Image:Dimension_Diameter.png|16px]] [[TechDraw Dimension Diameter|Dimension Diameter]]}} button
# A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.

<!--T:12-->
Dimension objects are vulnerable to "topological naming" issues. See the information in the [[TechDraw Dimension Length|TechDraw Dimension Length]] tool for more information.

Description

The TechDraw DiameterDimension tool adds a diameter dimension to a View. The dimension may be applied to any edge which is a circle or circular arc.

For more information see TechDraw RadiusDimension.
