Types of Drawing Annotations

General Dimensions
You can create general dimensions in orthographic or isometric views.
The geometry you select determines the dimension type and the
options available in the right-click menu.
You can override the dimension text, which does not affect the
model geometry.
You can change the dimension precision and tolerance, edit the
leader and arrowheads, or modify the content of dimension text.
Baseline Dimensions and Baseline Dimension Sets
Creates multiple dimensions that display the orthogonal distance
between the origin (base line) and selected edges or points. The first
edge or point selected is the origin geometry. You can create individu-
al dimensions or a dimension set.
Ordinate Dimensions and Ordinate Dimension Set
Creates multiple ordinate dimensions in a single process. Ordinate
dimensions automatically align as you place them. If dimension text
overlaps, you can modify the dimension position or dimension style.
You can create individual dimensions or a dimension set.
Retrieve Dimensions
Displays all model dimensions, or only dimensions related to selected
parts or features. You select the dimensions to maintain in the drawing
view.
Only model dimensions parallel to the view plane are available.
Model dimensions can be modified to manipulate the part file.
