Using Virtual Intersect point When Creating Dimensions

This section explains how to create from virtual intersect point when creating dimensions.

Procedure:

[1] Click [Smart Dimension] in the [Annotation] tab.


[2] Before specifying a point, press the [Space] key.
Alternatively, hold down the [Shift] key and right-click.

[3] The menu shown below will appear.
Click [Intersection].


[4] Select two lines.
When selecting the second line, an “×” symbol indicating the intersection will appear, as shown in the red frame below.


[5] Before selecting the point, repeat the same steps to bring up the menu, choose [Intersection], and select the line segments.
This will allow you to create dimensions based on a virtual intersection.
