Dimensions
- [Instructor] Now that we have our base views in, we're gonna throw in some dimensions. So if I come up into Rapid, you're gonna notice some similarities to what the Sketcher tool does. So you'll see here Method, Driving. We have Inferred, Driving, Driven. For us we're just gonna leave everything at Inferred. Measurement Method, Inferred, Horizontal, Vertical, Point-to-Point, these look awful familiar because this is again very, very similar to how the Sketcher dimensional constraints work. Now to note, there's no backward compatibility, meaning if I apply a dimension to the part here in the drawing, I can't drive the solid or go back into the solid and drive it, so this is basically unidirectional, it's not a bidirectional tool. So for this, I'll just leave everything on Inferred, again, just like the sketch, and start picking what I want in dimension. I can come in and if I want to dimension let's say this, you'll notice it gives me a diameter value, 'cause I picked that curve…
