What is the key difference between DIMBASELINE and DIMCONTINUE?
Answer: DIMBASELINE measures all dimensions from the same first extension line
Baseline dimensions share a common origin, while continued dimensions start from the previous dimension's second extension line.
Which dimension type measures the X or Y distance of a feature from the current UCS origin (datum)?
Answer: Ordinate
DIMORDINATE displays X or Y datum values relative to the UCS origin.
You need to dimension a large-radius arc whose center point lies off the sheet. Which command should you use?
Answer: DIMJOGGED
DIMJOGGED creates a jogged radius dimension with an overridden center location.
Which command measures the length along an arc rather than its radius or angle?
Answer: DIMARC
DIMARC creates an arc length dimension with an arc symbol.
Which command lets you select multiple objects at once and quickly create a series of baseline, continuous, or staggered dimensions?
Answer: QDIM
QDIM (Quick Dimension) creates a series of dimensions from selected geometry in one operation.
Which command creates geometric tolerance feature control frames?
Answer: TOLERANCE
TOLERANCE opens the Geometric Tolerance dialog to build feature control frames.
After editing, some dimensions no longer follow their geometry. Which command reassociates them with objects?
Answer: DIMREASSOCIATE
DIMREASSOCIATE links selected dimensions to geometry so they update when it changes.
