| Length dimensions |
- Length dimensions:
Enables or disables the creation of automatic length dimensions. If unchecked, no length dimensions will be added.
- Only dimension closed contours:
When enabled, dimensions will only be applied to shapes that form a closed loop (e.g., rectangles, polygons, circles). If unchecked, open lines can also be dimensioned.
- Only dimension lines of this length range:
Let’s you limit automatic dimensions to objects within a specific length range.
- Minimum: The smallest length (in inches) to be considered for automatic dimensioning.
- Maximum: The largest length to be considered.
- Smart dimensions for closed contours:
- Include radius in length dimensions:
Ensures that if the contour includes arcs or rounded corners, their radius is also dimensioned.
Choose the style that will be used for length dimensions.

*The dimension style “autodim” is used for auto dimension. If this style is not available (for example, with a template drawing), it is
Created automatically.
*NOTE: Dimensions created using the Auto-Dimension command are generally not used for production. For finalized dimensions, it is recommended to create dimensions individually using the appropriate dimension command (Horizontal, Vertical, Angular, etc.).
