When you edit a SmartSketch Drawing Editor drawing in SmartSketch Drawing Editor, you can use commands on the Dimension toolbar to manually place dimensions. When updating the drawing, the software remembers dimensions placed between objects within a single drawing view, dimensions placed from paper space to paper space, and dimensions placed between paper space graphics and model objects. You cannot dimension from one drawing view to another drawing view.

You can place dimensions in drawings by rule and composed drawing views using the standard SmartSketch Drawing Editor dimensioning commands.

The 2D dimension commands treat all geometry in a view as being in the view plane. If the view contains non-planar geometry, such as in an isometric view, the value of the dimension is not accurate, as shown in the following figure.

With the 3D dimension options, the dimension reflects the distance between the 3D objects.

You can specify dimensioning for paper space objects (at the proper scale) when they are drawn on top of drawing view objects.
