Line direction, or perpendicular to line direction

You can select the distance dimension, chain dimension, continuous base line dimension, dimension direction, parallel to a line direction as follows:

• Line Direction

After selecting the function, you can define the dimension direction by selecting the parallel line.

Adding of base line dimension and continuous baseline dimension, you can select to the dimension direction the line, when you are adding the first dimension.

• Perpendicular to the Line

After selecting the function, you can define the dimension direction by selecting the perpendicular line.

Adding the Chain dimension and the Continuous baseline dimension you can select to the dimension direction the perpendicular direction then, when you are adding the first dimension.
