To Create An Aligned Dimension; Dimension Arcs; To Dimension An Angle Between Two Lines - Tormach CNC Scanner Manual

13.2.1 To create an aligned dimension

1. Choose Dimensions > Aligned.
2. Press Enter, and then select the entity to dimension. Or, you may insert the dimension
by specifying the first and second extension line origins.
3. Specify the dimension line location.
To insert an aligned dimension by selecting the entity, select the entity (A) to dimension, and then select the dimension
line location (B).

13.3 Dimension Arcs

Command line: DIMANGULAR
Angular dimensions are used to measure the angle between lines or three points. You may dimension
objects including circles, arcs, and lines.
Angular dimension lines are typically represented with arc segments. To create an angular dimension for
two nonparallel lines, the dimension line arc spans the angle between the two lines. As you specify the
dimension line arc location, if the dimension line arc does not intersect one or two extension lines being
dimensioned, the system automatically draws them. The dimension line arc between lines is always less
than 180 degrees. However, for arcs, the dimension of the line arc can be up to 360 degrees.

13.3.1 To dimension an angle between two lines

1. Choose Dimensions > Angular.
2. Select one line.
3. Select the other line.
4. Specify the dimension line location.
