Dimension ToolStyle
 Occasionally, a precise
drawing, plotted to size, is not sufficient to convey the desired
information. In that case, dimension annotations must be added to show
the real world distance or object size.
PixEdit provides basic linear dimensioning, with automatic conversion
from the document to real world values. Graphical properties such as
line thickness, size of arrows, text style etc., may be customized to
fit the already existing style of your drawing. Dimension lines may be
locked into horizontal or vertical directions, or be inserted at any
angle.
Move the cursor to the starting point of the dimension line, and click
the left mouse button. Stretch the line to the end point, and click the
left mouse button again. As the line stretches out, text values are
constantly updated. When you are satisfied with the digitized position
of the line, click the left mouse button. Before finishing, you may
optionally move the dimension line to a new position. Notice the thin
extension lines stretch out from the digitized position towards the
dimension line as the line slides back and forth.
Drawings are often drawn to scale, and unless your drawing is scaled
1:1, you will need to define or measure
the existing scale. PixEdit can then calculate the correct values to
be inserted.
