If you have correctly positioned the symbols in the drawing, all the connection leads

will be straight lines. At this time you can delete all the guiding lines, add text to the

drawing and your finished drawing should resemble Figure 222 on page 177.

Dimensioning a drawing

Configuring the dimensioning style

As is usual with Draw, you configure dimensioning using a style.

After opening a drawing, press F11 to access the Styles and Formatting window. In

the Graphic Styles list, right-click on the style Dimension Line and select Modify. The

dialog that opens contains the current settings. Click the Dimensioning tab (Figure

228).

Figure 228: Configuring dimension lines

You can configure all the properties you see in this window to suit your own needs.

The left section includes the basic settings for dimension lines and dimension guide

lines (these indicate where on the object the dimension is referenced):

• Line distance: the distance of the dimension arrow from the object edge

• Guide overhang: the distance the guide line extends past the arrow

• Guide distance: the distance of the guide line from the object edge

You can individually set the line lengths of the right and left guide lines and use

positive or negative values to have the line above or below the reference point. The

direction of the line with positive or negative distances depends on the setting of the

Measure below object option (box checked or not), but this is easy to check by

referring to the example dimension line in the bottom window of the dialog. For this

current exercise click the box and activate this option.
