Dimensions & Center Marks

Draw | Dimension

Annotation is usually automatically added to the Dimension layer, a default layer when starting a new drawing from the Wizard.

Add Diameter and a Vertical dimension to the sketch so that the result is similar to the illustration below.

Dimensions added to the sketch

Using the Select All option

Right click in the editor | Select All

This selection option allows the filtered selection of a specific object type, such as Curves, Solids or Text & Dimensions.

This part will eventually form part of an assembly. In order to assemble multiple parts, drawings are imported into the assembly drawing, including their accompanying layers.

So that duplicate layers are not created in the main assembly drawing, all objects which relate only to Part 2 will be moved to the Part 2_Sketch layer.

All dimensions can be instantly selected using the Select All > Text+Dimensions option.

Right click in the editor and use Select All > Text+Dimensions. All dimensions inserted in onto the sketch will be selected.

Select the Inspector, then move the selected dimension objects to the Part 2_Sketch layer, shown below.
