4. 36 Dimensioning To enter dimensions and specify their place we use a fine line, called a dimension line, ending in arrows. The extension line is a fine line that connects the measured part of the object to the dimension line. Lines The dimension is placed in the center of the dimension line. Its value is given in millimetres. Units are not shown.

6. Dimensioning approx. 1 mm The dimension line touches the extension line. The extension line does not touch the object. approx. 2 mm The extension line extends past the dimension line. approx. 10 mm approx. 10 mm The distance between the object and the dimension line or between two dimension lines is about 10 mm.

8. Dimensioning Dimensioning includes two stages: The first defines the general shapes of the object by means of size quotations. Overall size quotations show the greatest dimensions of the object by length, width and height.

12. Dimensioning Basic rules for dimensioning If possible, group all dimensions between or above views. Place the dimension where the shape best describes the object.

14. Dimensioning In a series of dimensions, one of the ends of the series is not quoted. Place the shortest dimension lines close to the object to be measured.

16. Dimensioning Do not quote on hidden feature lines. If necessary, quote outside the views. Line up position quotations.

18. Dimensioning Dimensioning cylindrical shapes Objects with rectangular shapes are dimensioned differently than those with cylindrical shapes. The shapes of rectangular objects are dimensioned in relation to surfaces. Round or cylindrical shapes are located in relation to their center.

The Ø symbol or abbreviation DIA precedes the diameter to be dimensioned. Curves composed of arcs of a circle are dimensioned by their radius. Cylindrical holes are dimensioned by a note specifying the diameter and depth, if necessary.
