DimensionDIM

Draws dimensions: a dimension line with ticks and the measured lengths. Further points make it a dimension chain, measured as one element.

How it works

1. Click the first point to measure, such as a wall end. Points snap to wall ends, corners and jambs, or type one as x,y.
2. Click the second point.
3. Move the pointer to where the dimension line goes and click, or type a distance from the points. Beside the points the line runs vertically, above or below them horizontally.
4. Click further points to extend the chain. Each one adds a measurement and is one undo step.
5. Press Enter or Esc to end the chain. The tool stays on for the next dimension; Enter or Esc again leaves it.
