Description

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

For more information see TechDraw LengthDimension.

Length dimension taken from two arbitrary nodes of the view; the distance is measured horizontally
