Drawing > Drawing > Geometry

Centerline

Select two straight edges. The centerline is created between them.

Drawing > Drawing > Dimensions

Dimension

Creates linear, aligned, angular, radius, and diameter dimensions.

Ordinate Dimension

Define view origins and place ordinate dimensions referencing them.

Linear Dimension

Measures the horizontal or vertical distance between two points. Create dimensions by selecting an edge or by selecting two points.

Aligned Dimension

Measures the precise distance between two points. Create dimensions that are parallel to the locations or objects that you specify.

Angular Dimension

Measures the angle of a rounded edge or the angle between two points or edges.

Radius Dimension

Select a rounded edge, such as a fillet, hole, sphere, or cylinder, then place the dimension.

Diameter Dimension

Select a rounded edge, such as a fillet, hole, sphere, or cylinder, then place the dimension.

Baseline Dimension

Select an existing linear dimension, then specify a point to create a new dimension.

Chain Dimension

Select an existing linear dimension, then specify a point to create a new dimension.

Dimension Break

Select existing dimensions or leaders, then add or remove breaks where they overlap other dimensions and leaders.
