Using the ArrangeDimensions Command

Instead of using the Dimension Palette rollover button, you can run the ArrangeDimensions command.

Use the AutoDimensions command to automatically create baseline, continued, and ordinate dimensions for specified entities that are enclosed within a Dimension Bounding Box.

To use the ArrangeDimension command:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • From the menu bar, click Dimension > Auto Arrange Dimensions.
    • On the ribbon, click Annotate > Dimensions > Auto Arrange.
    • Type ArrangeDimensions at the command prompt.
  2. In the graphics area, specify dimensions enclosed within one or more Dimension bounding boxes.
  3. Press Enter.
    The dimensions are arranged automatically.
