- When creating sketches, we are going to be adding…dimensions extensively.…Now I want to go through a few of the techniques for…adding dimensions quickly…and go over a few techniques…for adding some special dimensions.…So let's jump up here to the Smart Dimension tool.…And first things first, now I can dimension a line…just by clicking on the line and adding dimension here.…So I can type in 100, for instance, but I can also…do the same thing if I delete that dimension…if I come up here and I add a dimension from this line here…to this line over here and then place the dimension.…
So that's a three-click dimension,…same thing, 100 millimeters.…Now, this comes into play if you have maybe a Fillet…or a radius on these lower corners here.…If I were to choose the line itself, that wouldn't be…an actual representation of that full length,…from side to side, so I generally try to use the…3-point click dimension.…Let me give you an example right here.…So if I click on Fillet…and I'm going to fill up this corner up here…
