Summary
This dimension function is only available in CIM View Mode.
If you set this dimension feature on a section, the dimensions will update as the section changes, even if the section is updated. Additionally, these dimensional features can be copied to other objects via Smart Match.

Explanation
How to use dimensions
Detailed dimension functions can be executed for dimensions either through the respective dimension commands or from the INFRA-DESIGN menu tab.
Linear Dimension [Shortcut key : LD]
: This is a linear dimension creation function created in the orthogonal direction based on the CAD workspace X and Y planes.
[Command]
Specify first extension line origin :
Select the first point to create the dimension.
Specify second extension line origin : Pick a second point to create the dimension.
Specify dimension line location : Specify the position for creating dimensions with the mouse or enter the length value in the Command dialog.
When creating a continuous dimension, select the next point where the dimension will be created.
Aligned Dimension [Shortcut key : AD]
: This is an aligned dimension creation function created by connecting two arbitrary points.
[Command]
Specify first extension line origin : Select the first point to create the dimension.
Specify second extension line origin : Pick a second point to create the dimension.
Specify dimension line location : Specify the position for creating dimensions with the mouse or enter the length value in the Command dialog.
When creating a continuous dimension, select the next point where the dimension will be created.
Arc Length Dimension [Shortcut key : ALD]
: This is a function to create arc length dimensions to display the arc length.
[Command]
Select object : Select a Member to represent the arc length.
Specify dimension line location : Point the mouse in the direction you want the dimension to appear.
Radius [Shortcut key : RDD]
: This is a function to create a radius dimension to display the radius.
[Command]
Select object : Select a Member to represent the radius.
Specify dimension line location : Point the mouse in the direction you want the dimension to appear.
Diameter [Shortcut key : DID]
: This is the function to create a diameter dimension to indicate the diameter.
[Command]
Select object : Select a Member to represent the diameter.
Specify dimension line location : Point the mouse in the direction you want the dimension to appear.
Angle [Shortcut key : AND]
: This is a function to create angle dimensions to display angles.
[Command]
Specify first extension line origin : Select the first point to create the dimension. (Select Member edge)
Specify second extension line origin : Pick a second point to create the dimension. (Select Member edge)
Specify dimension line location : Point the mouse in the direction you want the dimension to appear.
User Custom [Shortcut key : UCD]
: This is a user dimension creation function that allows you to immediately display arc lengths, etc.
Similar to an arc length dimension, but expressed as a length dimension without the arc symbol.
[Command]
Select object : Select an object for creating dimensions. (Select Member Edge)
Specify first extension line origin : Select the first point to create the dimension.
Specify second extension line origin : Pick a second point to create the dimension.
Specify dimension line location : Point the mouse in the direction you want the dimension to appear.
