Dimensioning

• Dimensioning is the process of placing sizes and related information on a drawing
• Two types of dimensions are used, size and location
• Size dimension gives the detail and overall size of the object
• Location dimension locates parts or features on the object

Aligned Method

• Avoid repeating dimensions
• Use outside dimension if the space is limited, and use an inside dimension if there is enough space
• Continuous dimensions should be used whenever possible
• Staggered dimensioning should be used when the space for dimensioning is limited
• When dimensioning a circle, it should be from center to center
• Dimensions are entered in millimeters without measures
• Extension lines must have a distance of about 10 mm from the object edge and an approximate 2 millimeters after the dimension lines

Architecture
