💡Shortcut💡: You can directly select a line, curve, or any other item in your drawing. The app will automatically dimension the item and you can confirm it by selecting the check mark or pressing the Return key.
If you select items in a view, the menu is customized automatically. From this adaptive menu, you can select the appropriate tool to instantly dimension the selected items. If there is only one dimension possible, the dimension is automatically applied.
To specify the precise decimal measurement of Linear and Angular dimensions, select the Drawing Preferences settings icon from the top right corner then look for Dimension Precision.
