DIMENSION TRICK

DIMENSION TRICK

DIMENSION TRICK

(OP)
One of my students fumbled upon this...

Sketch 2 circles & then dimension between them... the circles, not the center points. But hold the SHIFT key after the 1st click & see what happens. It gives you more control over the dimension placement. I tried looking this up in the HELP menus... but not knowing what to call it - I found nothing.

But I like it a lot...

RE: DIMENSION TRICK

In the help, choose the "Index" tab and type "Dimensions" and click "Between Arcs and Circles".

Like Mama always said: "If it'a been a skake, It'a bit you."

Thanks...
