Add a Distance Constraint
- Select Sketch | Constraints | Distance.
- Select the first line or point. This line or point will keep its position.
- Select the second line or point. This line or point will move so that it is at the desired distance from the first line or point.
- Select the position of the dimension.
- Edit the data in the Edit constraint dialog box.
- Click OK.
- Add more distance constraints by repeating steps 2-6 or finish adding distance constraints by pressing the ESC key or the middle mouse button.
Note:
- You can dimension the diameter of a part which is rotationally symmetric.
- The dimension will change between distance and diameter when you move the cursor over the rotation axis before positioning the dimension.
- The type of one of the lines must be Rot.Axis.
- This works for both the Distance and the Dimension constraints.
- After positioning the dimension you can drag the it elsewhere and it will remain a diameter dimension.
