DimXpert Location Dimension Tool

Use the Location Dimension tool to apply linear and angular dimensions between two DimXpert features (excluding surface, fillet, chamfer, and pocket features). In the following procedure, you dimension the distance between two simple holes.

Linear dimensions are applied between:

  • A combination of two parallel plane, axis, or line-type features
  • Two points
  • A point and a plane, axis, or line-type feature
  • Pairs of axes and lines that are skew (non-intersecting and non-parallel):

Angular dimensions are applied between a combination of two non-parallel plane, axis, or line-type features.

You can apply linear or angular dimensions to these features:
Point features Intersect point and sphere
Plane features Plane, notch, width, and intersect plane
Axis and Line features Cone, cylinder, boss, simple hole, counterbore hole, countersink hole, slot, and intersect line
Point Intersect point

Tolerance/Precision

Set the default tolerance and precision for location dimension at Tools > Options > Document Properties > DimXpert > Location Dimension.
