Placing a Dimension
Now let’s place a dimension between Points 12 and 13:
Select the Text/Dimension menu.
Select the Quick Dimension (QD) caommand.
Position the mouse pointer “crosshairs” over the corner of
the building near Point 12 and click your left-mouse button to
set the first dimension point.
Move the mouse pointer to the right corner of the building
(near point 13) and left-mouse click to set the second
dimension point.
Adjust the dimension height by clicking the Text Height
(larger) button until the text height is 8.0.
Next, move the mouse pointer downward and notice a rubberbanding dimension line with a box attached that represents
the dimension text.
When the dimension line is positioned at the desired location,
click the left-mouse button to finish placing it.
Add a Section of Road
The Easy Street feature can be used to construct multi-lane streets and highways, including sidewalks and medians. You can set the individual width of
each lane, or section, and select a centerline type. In this case we will use
Easy Street to add a section of road to the diagram. The first step is to draw a
guideline, arc, or curve that represents one edge of the street.
