Dragging Dimensions into a New Position

You can drag dimension lines into a new position.

The behavior is controlled by the Leader/Extension Line Dragging setting specified in the Options dialog box (User Preferences > Drafting Options).

This method provides a faster access compared to using the EditDimension command with its Move option or EntityGrips.

To drag dimensions into a new position:

  1. In the graphics area, click anywhere on the dimension and keep the mouse button pressed.
  2. Drag the mouse to the new position of the dimension.
  3. Release the mouse button.

The dimension adjusts according to the new cursor position.
