You can create a dimension in AutoCAD by using the “DIMENSION” command and selecting the objects or points to the dimension. 28. What do you understand by aligned dimension? An aligned dimension in AutoCAD is a type of dimension that measures the distance between two parallel lines or edges...
The DIMSPACE command adjusts the spacing equally between parallel linear and angular dimensions. Here is before and here is the result of the command The new Dimension Break tool (DIMBREAK command) enables you to break dimension or extension lines where they intersect geometric objects or other dim...
Typically, when you create a dimension, AutoCAD automatically creates extension lines, 04:46 and leaves a gap between the object and the extension lines. 04:50 When you use object snap to place dimensions, by default, 04:54 existing extension lines are ignored so that you do not inadvertently...
The "aligned" option just means the direction of the dimension line is aligned with the direction between the definition points, whether or not there's anything else running in the same direction to be parallel with. Kent Cooper, AIA Reply Report 0 ...
Note: Dimension lines are automatically filtered from the selection since they cannot be joined or converted to polyline. Position the mouse over the new polyline to confirm if objects were joined. Let’s use the Mirror command to mirror-copy the polyline to define the profile to the left: Co...

In the video below, I create a new dimension and a new center line without knowing what layer or style they have. Even if the object has property overrides such as color, linetype, Linetype Scale… Add Selected will set those properties and start the command for you to create a similar...
