To Create a Stacked Linear Dimension from an Origin

  1. Select the Linear Dimensioning tool.
  2. Set the mode to Linear Stacked.

  3. Enter a data point to define the dimension origin.
  4. Enter a data point to define the length of the extension line (the offset distance from the origin to the dimension line).

    If Alignment is set to Drawing or View, this data point also defines the dimension axis.

  5. Enter a data point to define the endpoint of the dimension.
  6. If Location is set to Manual, enter a data point to position the dimension text.

Note: You can place a dimension with a leader when Location is set to Manual.

  1. Do one of the following:

    Go back to step 5 to dimension another location from the same origin.

    or

    Reset to place the dimension in the design.

  2. (Optional) Do one of the following:

    Go back to step 4 to dimension locations in a different direction (turn the corner), using the previous data point as the origin.

    or

    Reset and go back to step 3 to start a new stacked location dimension from a different origin.
