Types of dimensioning tools and measurements
You use the dimensioning tools
to add measurements to illus-
trations. Different tools let you
create different types of dimen-
sion objects.
Baseline and chain dimension-
ing tools create groups of
dimensions. Baseline dimen-
sions contain several measure-
ments from a common starting
point. Chain dimensions are a
series of measurements.
