What is meant by Dimensioning?

"Dimensioning" is generally understood to be the process of adding measurements or dimensions to technical drawings, plans or construction drawings. These dimensions are used to precisely define and communicate the size, position and spacing of objects or elements within the design.

Typical features of software in the "dimensioning" domain include:

Automatic dimensioning: The ability to generate dimension lines automatically and place them at relevant locations in the design based on the geometric properties of the objects.
Manual dimensioning: The capability to give users manual control over the placement of dimension lines to mark specific measurements or distances.
Various units of measurement: Support for various units of measurement such as millimeters, centimeters, inches, etc., to meet the requirements of different projects or industries.
Dimensioning styles: Predefined styles for dimension lines and symbols that can be customized to the desired appearance or industry standards.
Labels and annotations: The ability to add labels or annotations to the dimension lines to communicate additional information or instructions.
Dynamic adjustment: Features for dynamically adjusting dimension lines and texts when changing the geometry or size of objects in the design.
Tolerance and precision settings: Settings to specify tolerances and levels of precision for the dimensions to meet accuracy requirements.
Dimensioning editing: Tools for editing and adjusting existing dimensions, including moving, deleting, or changing values.
