Dimensioning points

Used to manage the additional dimensioning points and dimensioning references. Further information on work with dimensioning points can be found in the description of the 2D detail style.

If you would like to add a dimensioning or reference point, you will subsequently be asked for the new point, which you must pick in the model. If you wish to change or delete an existing point, select it by clicking on the point.

You define a reference area by picking two points in the model, which describe the start and end of the area.
