The Dimension Vertical tool adds a vertical dimension to a View. The dimension may be between two vertices, the length of one edge or the vertical 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 {{Button|[[Image:TechDraw_Dimension_Link.svg|16px]] Link Dimension}} tool.

The '''TechDraw VerticalDimension''' tool adds a vertical dimension to a View. The dimension may be the vertical distance between two points or the vertical 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.

Description

The TechDraw VerticalDimension tool adds a vertical dimension to a View. The dimension may be the vertical distance between two points or the vertical 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.
