ANNOTATION IN DRAWING

PRESENTED BY: GROUP 7


LEARNING
OBJECTIVES

 Discuss what are the annotations used in the


drawing.
 Demonstrate the commands used in making
changes in drawing.
 Discuss what is multileader line and how to
use it.

 Create objects with complete annotations.


ANNOTATION IN THE
DRAWING
DIMENSION

 Dimensioning is the art of annotating drawings with precise numerical


measurements.
 It will automatically display the correct measurements as long as the geometric
objects to which they refer are drawn to actual size.
 It simply visible measurements for purposes of conveying information to the
audience that will be looking at your design.
 It is how you describe the size of the design and where it is in relation to
everything else.
 Dimensions can be natural, meaning they display the actual value, or forced,
when they display an altered value, such as when you dimension an object with a
break line.
DIMENSION ELEMENTS

Description

Figure 1. Dimension Elements


Dimension Line
Continuous, narrow lines are called dimension lines. Arrowheads denote
the length of the line, which is drawn parallel to the surface.

Extension Line
It’s a short line called a projection or extension line. To accurately size a
surface, this line must be drawn perpendicular to that surface. Unlike the
dimension line, the projection line extends slightly further.

Centre Line
A line of this type is used to depict the center of a cylinder in a drawing.

Leader Line
This line is used to write any note or specification on an object.

PRIMARY DIMENSIONS
1. Linear
Dimension
These are any dimensions that are strictly horizontal or vertical (Figure 9.1).
We go over only the horizontal dimension, as reflected in the matrix that follows.
Of course, the same steps apply to the vertical dimension and you should practice
it on your own.

2. Aligned
Dimension
This is a dimension that measures a slanted line or object (Figure 9.2).
PRIMARY DIMENSIONS

3. Radius
Dimension
It measures the radii of arcs and circles with optional centerlines or a center mark if
text placement is set to over the dimension line, with a leader, the dimension is
applied with a leader line (Figure 9.3).

4. Diameter Dimension
This is a dimension that measures the diameter of a circle or an arc and circles with
optional center lines or a center mark. (Figure 9.4)

5. Center Marks
Dimcenter command creates the center mark or the centerlines of
circles and arc (Figure 9.5)

6. Arc Length
Dimension
It allows you to create length dimension (Figure 9.6)

7. Angular Dimension
This is a dimension for angles between two lines or objects (Figure 9.7).

PRIMARY DIMENSIONS
8. Continue Dimension

These are continuous strings of dimensions. A short explanation is in


order, as continuous and baseline dimensions give new students some
initial problems. Continuous dimensions are nothing more than a string
of familiar horizontal or vertical ones. The idea here is to create one of
those two types of linear dimensions, then start up the continuous
dimension where you just left off and let AutoCAD quickly fill them in as
you pick contact points. It is really the same as using linear dimensions
over and over again but faster and more accurate since it is partially
automated.

9. Baseline Dimension

These are continuous stacks of dimensions. The baseline


dimension, as mentioned before, is very similar in principle to
the continuous dimension. The goal is to make a neat stack
of evenly spaced dimensions that all start at one point (the
base in baseline). To begin, erase the previous continuous
dimensions (leaving the squares) and once again draw one
linear (horizontal) dimension, as seen before in Figure 9.6.

10. Dimension Space

The Dimspace command allows you to specify the space between the
dimension lines of parallel linear or concentric arc dimension (Figure 9.9)

PRIMARY DIMENSIONS
11. Dimension Break

The Dimbreak command allows you to create a break in a dimensions


between all of the end and center points of the selected object(s) (Figure
10.1).

12. Quick Dimension

Quick Dimension is used to draw a string of dimensions between all of the end and center
points of the selected objects (Figure 10.2).

13. Leader and
Multileader
This is an arrow and label combination pointing at something. While a
leader is not a true dimension by definition, it is still a very common and
necessary member of the dimension family. The values shown by the
leader can be not only numerical but also text comments from the
designer, concerning the part or object to which it is pointing. Leaders are
so important that CAD has given them a major rework in recent releases.
We go over the two main options in increasing order of complexity,
starting with the basic leader command, followed by the more feature-
rich multi leader, with its Add, Remove, Align, and Collect options.
PRIMARY DIMENSIONS
14. Multileader

A multileader is text with a line tipped by an arrowhead that


leads the eye to specific geometric features. Multileader
styles control the appearance of leader objects in much the
same way that dimension styles control the appearance of
dimensions. This method is relatively new and is meant to
add more flexibility and usefulness (and inadvertently some
complexity) to the leader command. To work with this, you
need to bring up the Multi leader toolbar.

CUSTOMIZING DIMENSION
We have one more topic to cover on our way to basic proficiency in
dimensioning. It is customization, and as mentioned at the start of
the chapter, it is an extensive subject, necessitating it being split
into the fundamentals here and advanced customization. The goal
here is to learn what experience has shown to be the most
important four customization tools. This allows you to be
productive in most of the drafting situations you are likely to
encounter as a beginner. Later, you will add to this knowledge by
learning tools used by CAD administrators and senior designers.
