DIMENSIONS

Similar to Dimensioning in the Sketch Environment, except now you must pay attention to Dimension Placement

There are dozens of rules to follow but here are just a few:

• Ensure no Dimensions touch anything else

• Ensure arrows and leaders are as outside your part as possible

• Make sure it's readable and makes sense

Leaders consist of a few components that you'll be using:

• Arrow - LMB (Dot) to swap arrow

• Leader - LMB-Drag to Extend/Shorten the Leader Line

• Dimension - LMB-Drag to pull out and place
