To Add Dimensions to an Orthographic Drawing

You can add dimensions in the orthographic viewports as you can in any AutoCAD drawing.

Note: Make sure you are in paper space when adding dimensions.
  1. In the Project Manager, click the Orthographic DWG tab.
  2. In the tree view, expand the project and the Orthographic Drawings folder.
  3. Double-click to open an ortho drawing.
  4. Click Ortho View ribbon contextual tabDimensions panelDimension.
  5. In the drawing, specify the first and second extension line origins. Alternately, press Enter to select an object to dimension.
  6. Use the cursor to move the dimension line in the drawing. Click to set the dimension line.
Note: Dimensions do not update when the model updates. You must adjust the dimensions manually.
