Inserting a horizontal dimension line

The procedure for inserting horizontal dimension line

1. On Gallery picture editor toolbar adjust the colour, line thickness, line pattern, and layer.
2. Click button [Insert horizontal dimension line] () on toolbar Insert.
3. The property dialogue for dimension lines is opened on the screen.
4. The style is pre-set to horizontal and Label value to Projection.
5. If needed, adjust other parameters (see chapter Changing the parameters of dimension line).
6. Input the first point to be dimensioned.
7. Input the second point to be dimensioned.
8. Input the point that defines the position of the dimension line.
9. If appropriate, insert other points to be dimensioned.
10. End the function by clicking on button [End action] () on toolbar Insert.

The options for the definition of the points are given in chapter Drawing a line.

If just a single dimension line should be inserted, use button [Insert single horizontal dimension line] instead. This option requires only the definition of two points that define the dimensioned distance and one position point. Once these three points are defined, the dimension line is complete.
