Creating general dimension notations
- [Instructor] In this movie, we're going to be creating general dimensions for this part you see on the screen. So, there's a couple of different methods for creating dimensions but we're going to be using the main dimensioning command here which is the Smart Dimension. Now directly below that, you have a couple different options down here you can choose either a horizontal dimension, or a vertical dimension, or baseline, or ordinate, and so on but the Smart Dimension pretty much figures all that out for you and chooses the right dimension based on where you place it in context. So, go ahead and choose Smart Dimension and over here, we're going to go ahead and choose maybe like from one side of the part. So, I'm going to click on this face right here and come all the way over here to the other side of the part and click. And that's going to allow me to place the overall dimension so pretty straightforward and easy there. Same thing over here if I want to choose maybe from the bottom…
