Dimension lines - manual length

Post by greenif »

Hello.
Tell me please, how can I do that:

I want to draw dimension line, exactly 200 cm length, this line should not be locked at any object.
How can I set length of dimension line from keyboard, not playing with mouse, like I do it for example for walls.

As explained in the help:
If you press the enter key when the plan has the focus, an editable tooltip will be displayed to let you enter with the keyboard the length and the angle of the current dimension (if you didn't start any dimension yet, the tooltip will display the coordinates of the start point of the new dimension), then its offset i.e. the length of its extension line. Use the up arrow, down arrow or tab keys to edit an other value and press the enter key to confirm the values you entered. If you want to use again the mouse to draw a dimension, simply move it over the plan.
Hope you can handle it...
