Unconstrained Linear Dimension

Dims/Notes |
The Unconstrained Linear mode creates a dimension line with a single measurement.
To create an unconstrained linear dimension line with a single measurement:
Click the tool and mode, and then select a Standard (dimension standard) and the Units.
Click to set the measurement start point.
Click to end the measurement.
Move the cursor away from the object to the desired offset location.
In a 3D view, the first two clicks determine the X axis of the plane where the dimension will be placed; move the cursor to rotate the dimension plane. The dimension plane can be horizontal or vertical to the layer plane, or aligned to adjacent faces of a 3D object being dimensioned.
Click to place the dimension line.
The dimension can be horizontal or vertical to the layer plane, or aligned to the face adjacent to the dimension line
