D.4
A/.>'D
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws a linear dimension with the
dimension line parallel to the selected
dimension origin points. This lets you align
a dimension with an angled line that is not
either exactly horizontal or vertical.

D.4
A'>U/A!
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws an arc and calculates the angle
between two non-parallel lines, and draws
the text and arrowheads. Arrowheads are
the standard AutoCAD filled triangles,
regardless of your defined Arrow loc!.

D.4
BA%/.'
Dimensioning sub-command:
Continues a linear dimension from the
baseline "the so-called #first extension
line#$ of the previous or selected
dimension. This is not fre%uently used in
architectural dimensions. The spacing
between each dimension line is controlled
by the AutoCAD variable D&'D(&
"#Dimension (ine &ncrement#$, which you
should set at ) normally, but if you use the
baseline command, you should reset to
*+,#.

D.4
C'T!
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws a pair of crossed lines at the center
of a circle or arc on the current layer

D.4
CO'T.'U
Dimensioning sub-command:
Continues a linear dimension from the
second extension line of the previous or
selected dimension. &t is used to create a so-
called #string# of dimensions. This is used
%uite a bit in architectural drawings.

D.4
D.A4T!
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws a dimension through the center of a
circle or arc, calculating the diameter, with
one of the arrow heads located at the point
on the circle or arc which is pic!ed.

D.4
8.T
Dimensioning sub-command:
-xits the dimensioning program and
returns from the Dim. prompt to the
normal Command. prompt

D.4
;O4T8T
Dimensioning sub-command:
/estores the text of an associative
dimension to its default "home$ location if
you have moved it.

D.4
;O!.DO'TA/
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws a horizontal linear dimension line

D.4
/AD!
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws an a line or series of lines with an
arrow head "commonly called a #leader#$
to point to an ob0ect to notate it. This

command will also prompt you for the note
at the end of the leader line, but it will
allow only one line of text. The most useful
method of using this command is to simply
draw leaders between the ob0ect to be
notated and text that you create with the
DT-1T command.
D.4
'CT8T
Dimensioning sub-command:
2ermits changing text of an associative
dimension without exploding it. 3owever,
once the text has been changed, the
dimension will no longer be associative.

D.4
OB/.EU
Dimensioning sub-command:
Ad0usts the obli%uing angle of a linear
associative dimensions4 extension lines.
5seful in dimensioning isometric drawings.

D.4
O!D.'AT
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws the 1 and 6 coordinates within a
box with a leader line attached to the point,
for a selected point. Automatically
calculates the coordinates.

D.4
O7!!.D
Dimensioning sub-command:
7verrides the dimension variable settings
on a selected dimension.

D.4
!AD.U%
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws the radius dimension of an arc or
circle from the center to the point on its
locus where the arc or circle was selected.

D.4
!D!AC
Dimensioning sub-command:
/edraws the viewport, 0ust li!e the regular
/-D/A8 command.

D.4
!%TO!
Dimensioning sub-command:
'a!es a dimension style current

D.4
!OTAT
Dimensioning sub-command:
Draws a linear dimension with the distance
measured origin points, but with the actual
dimension line set at a different angle.

D.4
%A7
Dimensioning sub-command:
9aves the currently set dimension variables
under a dimension style name for future
retrieval through the /-9T7/-
command.

D.4
%TATU%
Dimensioning sub-command:
(ists all dimension variables with their
current status.

D.4
%T3/
Dimensioning sub-command:
9witches to a new Text 9tyle for all future
dimensions.

D.4
TD.T
Dimensioning sub-command:
Allows moving text in associative
dimensions without having to explode the

dimensions.
D.4
T!OTAT
Dimensioning sub-command:
Allows rotation of the text of several
associative dimensions at once.

D.4
U'DO
Dimensioning sub-command:
5ndoes any changes made by the most
recent dimensioning command.

D.4
UPDAT
Dimensioning sub-command:
Changes selected associative dimensions to
use the current dimension variables, the
current text style, and the current units
setting.

D.4
7A!.AB/%
Dimensioning sub-command:
(ists the settings of dimension variables
associated with a particular dimension
style.

D.4
