==Description== <!--T:2-->
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 Link Dimension [[Image:LinkDimension.png|16]] tool.

==How to use== <!--T:3-->
<!--T:8-->
The '''TechDraw HorizontalDimension''' tool adds a horizontal dimension to a View. The dimension may be the horizontal distance between two points or the horizontal length of a straight edge. As with the [[TechDraw_LengthDimension|TechDraw LengthDimension]] tool it is also possible to select two edges or a point and an edge, but these options make less sense for this tool.
# Select the points or edge which define your measurement.
# Press the {{KEY|[[Image:TechDraw_Dimension_Horizontal.png|16]] [[TechDraw Dimension_Horizontal]]}} button
# A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.

Description

The TechDraw HorizontalDimension tool adds a horizontal dimension to a View. The dimension may be the horizontal distance between two points or the horizontal length of a straight edge. As with the TechDraw LengthDimension tool it is also possible to select two edges or a point and an edge, but these options make less sense for this tool.

For more information see TechDraw LengthDimension.
