Use dimension tools to annotate linear, projected, angular, and radius measurements directly on the canvas.
Create Dimension
Place a standard linear distance dimension between two points
В Create Dimension tool places a linear dimension showing the true distance between two clicked points, complete with extension lines, dimension line, arrows, and a measurement label.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Dimension.
- 2Click the first measurement point.
- 3Click the second measurement point.
- 4Move the cursor to offset the dimension line, then click to place it.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: Snaps help you align to exact endpoints and midpoints for accurate measurements. Use the Dimensions settings accordion to control arrow style, text offset, and extension line gaps.
Create Projected Dimension
Show horizontal or vertical projection distance between two points
Projected Dimension measures and annotates only the horizontal or vertical component of the distance between two points – useful for sloped members where you need the plan or elevation span.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Projected Dimension.
- 2Click the first point.
- 3Click the second point.
- 4Click to place the projected dimension.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: The projected dimension automatically chooses horizontal or vertical based on the cursor position when placing. Move the cursor above/below the points for horizontal, or left/right for vertical.
Create Angle Dimension
Measure and annotate the angle between two lines
Angle Dimension places an arc-shaped dimension showing the included angle between two selected lines, with the measurement label positioned along the arc.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Angle Dimension.
- 2Click the first line.
- 3Click the second line.
- 4Move the cursor and click to place the angle arc and label.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: The cursor position when placing determines which of the four possible angle sectors is shown – интерьер, exterior, or the two supplementary angles. Position the cursor inside the desired sector.
Create Radius Dimension
Annotate the radius of an arc or circle
Radius Dimension places a callout from the center of an arc or circle showing its radius, with a leader line and R-prefixed label.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Radius Dimension.
- 2Click an arc or circle.
- 3Move the cursor and click to position the radius callout leader.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: Use the Dimensions settings accordion to control the arrow style and whether to show the R prefix before the value.
Text and Leader
Create Leader Text
Add an arrowhead leader pointing to an object with a text note
В Текст выноски tool creates an arrowhead pointing to a specific location on the drawing and connects it to a text callout. Used for material notes, detail markers, and reference labels.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Leader Text.
- 2Click the arrowhead tip location on the object.
- 3Click the text anchor location.
- 4Enter the annotation text and confirm.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: When a single note applies to multiple locations, использовать Текст с несколькими выносками instead to connect several arrowheads to one callout block.
Create Multi-Leader Text
Create one callout note with multiple leader arrows
Текст с несколькими выносками creates a single annotation block with multiple arrowhead leaders pointing to different locations. Use it when one note applies to several objects or positions at once.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Multi-Leader Text.
- 2Click the text anchor point.
- 3Click each arrowhead tip location.
- 4Enter annotation text and press неподвижная точка в пространстве, которая не движется to confirm.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: After placing, you can move both the anchor point and individual arrowhead tips independently by selecting the annotation and dragging the handles.
Create Text
Place styled text labels with font, размер, and alignment controls
В Create Text tool places a standalone text label on the canvas. Font, размер, bold/italic styling, alignment, and color are all configurable before or after placement.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]

- 3Enter text content and configure font, размер, and alignment.
- 4Нажмите Create Text to place the label.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: Text objects snap to the cursor position; enabling Snap to Align makes it easy to horizontally or vertically align labels with existing geometry.
Create Table
Insert a formatted table annotation directly on the drawing
В Create Table tool inserts a structured data table as a drawing annotation. Use it for schedules, свойства раздела, load tables, or general reference data within the sheet.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Table.
- 2Click the anchor point for table placement.
- 3Configure table content, ряды, and styling in the dialog.
- 4Confirm to insert the table.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: After placing, double-click the table to re-open the editor and modify cell content, add rows, or adjust column widths.
Gridline and Construction
Create Gridline
Draw labeled structural reference gridlines
Линии сетки are labeled reference axes used in structural drawings to define the building grid. They display a label bubble at each end and support snapping via the Snap to Gridlines вариант.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Gridline.
- 2Set the gridline label in the Settings panel.
- 3Click the first endpoint.

Revision Cloud
Create Revision Cloud Frame
Draw a rectangular revision cloud from a click-drag frame
В Revision Cloud Frame tool generates a rectangular arc-chain border by dragging a bounding box. The arc bump size is configurable in the Shapes accordion.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
Шаг за шагом
- 1Активировать Create Revision Cloud Frame.
- 2Click and drag to define the frame bounds.
- 3Release to generate the cloud border automatically.
- 4Adjust the arc bump radius in the Shapes accordion if needed.
Поскольку мы хотим, чтобы другая сторона конструкции начиналась в этом месте: Set the revision arc radius in the Shapes accordion уравнения равновесия основаны на недеформированной геометрии drawing to get the desired cloud density. Larger radius = fewer, rounder bumps; smaller radius = more bumps along the perimeter.
Create Revision Cloud Frame By Circle
Draw a circular revision cloud by center and radius
Cloud Frame by Circle creates a circular arc-chain cloud border defined by a center point and radius – ideal for highlighting a circular or point-based area on the drawing.
[__INSERT_IMAGE__]
