Free Circle Dimensions (2-D)

Free circle dimension

2-D Dimensioning + Text > Circle > Circle dimension, free

This function enables you to carry out free dimensioning for the diameter of a circle or the radius of a circular arc. The position of the dimensioning depends on the point for the dimension line.

  1. Identify the circle or the circular arc.

The dimensioning now attaches to the cursor and can be rotated freely about the circle.

  1. Specify the position of the dimension line.

(1) Identification of the circle
(2) Point for the position of the dimension figure
(3) Identification of the circular arc
(4) Point for the position of the dimension figure


Free radius dimension

2-D Dimensioning + Text > Individual dimensions > Variable > Circle dimension, free radius

This function enables you to draw free dimensioning for the radius of a circle or circular arc. This dimensioning has no projection lines. The dimension line points the dimension arrow to the circular arc. The point for the dimension figure decides between inner or outer dimensioning.

  1. Identify the circle or circular arc.

The dimensioning now attaches to the cursor and can be freely rotated about the circle.

  1. Use the point options to determine the position of the dimensioning.


Free diameter dimension

2-D Dimensioning + Text > Individual dimensions > Variable > Circle dimension, free diameter

This function enables you to draw free dimensioning for the diameter of a circle or circular arc. The position of the dimensioning depends on the point for the dimension line.

  1. Identify the circle or the circular arc.
  2. Use the point options to specify the position of the dimension line.
