As long as the continued dimension is activated, the last dimension end point is
always interpreted as the dimension starting point for the next dimension line. The
next drawn point is then the new dimensioning end point.
Every section is separately dimensioned, i.e., the dimension value for a continued
dimension only relates to the associated section.

5. Specify the other end dimensioning points.
6. After you have placed all of the dimensioning points, click Edit > Cancel

Dimensions
As long as the incremental dimension is activated, the last dimension end point is
always interpreted as the dimension starting point for the next dimension line. The
next drawn point is then the new dimensioning end point.
The dimension value for incremental dimensions is calculated from the starting point
to the end point of the associated section. The dimension lines are all drawn to the
same height.
For incremental dimensions you can specify the overall dimension first and then the
section dimension. It is also possible to expand the overall dimension as you would
like.
4. Specify the next end dimensioning point. This can be inside or outside of the
first placed dimension.

The dimension line is drawn to the height and direction of the preceding
dimension line and the dimension value is placed at the end of the section.

As long as the baseline dimension is activated, the last dimension end point is always
interpreted as the dimension starting point for the next dimension line. The next
drawn point is then the new dimensioning end point.
The dimension value for baseline dimensions is calculated from the starting point to
the end point of the associated section. Unlike incremental dimensions, the
dimension lines are drawn to different heights and the dimension line is centered in
the section.
4. Specify the next end dimensioning point. This can be inside or outside of the
first placed dimension.

The dimension line is drawn and the dimension value is centered in the
section. The height to which the following dimension line is drawn is taken
from the DIN standard.

To dimension an angle, first specify the angle middle point and then the starting and
end points. The height of the dimension line is defined by the starting point.

To dimension a radius, first select the circle and then specify the position of the
dimension line (and the dimension value). The dimension value can be written in any
angle on the circle. Regardless of the end point position, the dimension value is
always the radius.
2. Define the end point of the dimension line and click the left mouse button.
If the end point is within the circle, a small arrow on the inner edge of the
circle will be drawn as the dimension line. If the end point is outside, the
dimension line is drawn from the end point to the outer edge of the circle.

2. Move the dimension with the mouse.
All elements are moved together.
3. Mark the insertion point of a dimension value and move it with the mouse.
Only the dimension value is moved.
