How to Dimension in AutoCAD | Linear; Aligned; Angular; Radius; Ordinate; Jogged; Tolerance Video Lecture | A complete Guide to AutoCAD (English) - Design Softwares

in this tutorial we will learn how to
place dimensions in AutoCAD drawing
at first we will choose a note a to
dimension style so that we can easily
change the scale to select an altitude
dimension style click on a notation
click here and select and nutritive
you can place vertical and horizontal
dimension using this linear command dim
linear click on it give the first point
give the second point give the location
and increase the scale from here
so that it will be visible properly now
here I don't want these 4 zeros for that
RISD enter click on modify and to remove
the zeros click on these primary units
click on this precision and select the
single zero then I want this dimension
above the dimension line for that click
on this text from your vertical center
click here and select Abu and I want
this dimension to be aligned with
dimension line then click on this ISO
standard so it will be a border line
with dimension line click on OK click on
close then using linear you can give
dimension to vertical line also select
linear you can place dimension by
selecting the object also to give the
dimension by selecting the object press
ENTER and then select the object and
give the location then next is aligned
if you want to give dimension to
inclined line then you will I have to
use a line dimension click on a line
click the first point click the second
point give the location then if you want
to give angle between two object then
use the angular dimension click on
angular select the first object select
the second object then take your cursor
on the side where you want to place the
dimension and click there now here I
want to give a dimension to this line
from the horizontal line now horizontal
line is not there so at first I will
have to create one horizontal line then
place the dimension click on line select
the first point keep ortho on so that
line will come straight click there and
escape then I can click on angular
dimension click the first object click
the second object and give the location
then next is art length if you want to
view lane to arc click on are clean then
select the arc and give the position it
will
the arc line symbol automatically the
next is radius click on radius select
the circle or arc to which you want to
add the radius dimension and take your
cursor away and click there now here the
internal line is not shown if you want
to add the internal line then give D
enter modify then click on this feet and
click here draw a dim line between
extension line okay
clothes then it will add the internal
line the next is diameter if you want to
add the diameter of the circle click on
diameter then select the circle and give
the position for the dimension now if
you want to modify this dimension to add
some node suppose I want to add two
holes dier 20 then double click on this
text then type the node 2 volts then
diet 20 is already there click outside
in this way you can customize the node
the next is ordinate dimension suppose I
want to give ordinate for this dimension
in ordinate dimension at first you will
have to define your datum 0 0 to define
the datum 0 0 give the UCS command enter
then give the origin point
click point for the X Direction click
point for y direction now this point is
defined as a zero zero now click here
and select ordinate now this point I
want to define as a zero click on the
start point give the position make or
Thorne so line will come straight click
there now this is 0 y and same way you
can add the zero x and then with respect
to the zero zero you can add the datum
barracks and click the point give the
location simply you can add datum for X
also again click on ordinate and give
the positions in this way you can add
ordinate dimensions then next is jog
click on the job now here we have seen
that when we add radius dimension with
internal line is shown from the center
point but in some cases if you don't
want to show the line from Center Point
and want to show the radius line from
some other point at that time you can
use this jog dimension select the arc or
circle then define the alright Center
location that means the location from
where you want to show the radius line I
want to show from here then specify the
dimension line location how you want to
show the dimension like this then click
for the jog location in this way you can
add jog dimension for other type of
dimension click on annotate here is some
other types are there next is continue
if you want to you dimension in one line
so was here I want to place dimension in
one line for placing the continued
omission at first you will have to give
one dimension by linear on a line
dimension I will give dimension by
linear click on linear give the first
point second point and location then to
give continued dimension click on
continue and you just have to specify
the second point and to stop the
dimension press escape same way next
option is base line if you want to you
dimension from one line suppose here
to place the dimension using this line
again for baseline you will have to
place one dimension bilinear or aligned
click here and select linear then place
the first dimension then click on
baseline and you just have to place the
second point so it will automatically
add the dimension from the first line
then press escape to come out then if
you want to add geometric tolerance then
click on this geometric tolerance then
here you will have to choose the symbol
suppose I want to add perpendicular then
give the tolerance value then you can
add different symbol from here as per
your requirement then here you can
define the datum whatever what is the
reference datum then click on OK then
place the dimension where you want to
place it then we want to place the arrow
arrow we want to add using annotative
style to change the multileader style to
node2 click here and select annotate you
and click on the multileader give the
position for the arrow you the second
point location and click there and press
escape and if you want to move midpoint
of this to the endpoint of this give the
move command select object inter then to
cage the midpoint between these two
points shift right click and click on
mid between two points select the two
points and give the endpoint of this
leader in this way you can place the
geometric tolerance symbol now to create
the datum a for the geometric tolerance
symbol you will have to create one
triangle for that click on home and
select the polygon command then give the
number of pages to be three then click
on is then give the first point of the
age give the second point then to fill
these give the hatch command then from
here select the solid and click inside
and close on hatch creation create one
line from here to here escape then to
create the box for data
again click on annotate click on
dimension select tolerance then click
here and give a ok and click here then
move it user M enter select the object
enter take the midpoint on the endpoint
of this in this way you can give the
geometric tolerance using datum and
geometric tolerance symbol that's all
thanks for watching we will stop here
