Instructions
The following instructions are to be followed while performing in the labs.

• The manual must be thoroughly read before starting the lab.

• The theoretical concepts related to the lab and experiments must be revised.
• All attempts shall be made to complete the lab during the lab session.
• Any attempt to plagiarize from any source will be reported to the disciplinary committee for further
action, so keep the work original.

• Carefully use the laboratory equipment.

Spring 2023 ED Lab 07 Version 1.1

Objectives
• To get hands on experience of AutoCAD software.

Background Information
Basic drawing tools are used to create some simple drawings. However, to create complex drawings,
we require different dimensions and annotations to describe the drawing parameters.

Dimension and Annotation Tools

There are many dimensions and annotation tools available in the AutoCAD software. These tools can be
accessed from annotation panel under home tab in the ribbon of AutoCAD software/ command line.

Create Dimensions
The dimension tool is used to create dimensions depending upon the dimension type selected. Its procedure
is given below:
• This tool can be accessed from annotation panel under home tab in the ribbon or command line by
typing DIM command.
• To access it from ribbon, one needs to set the dimension type before activating it, i.e., linear, aligned,
angular, diameter, radius, arc length, ordinate and jogged.
• After selecting dimension type, click on dimension icon to activate it.

• The activation of dimension tool will prompt the user to select an object. Select object
and click to create the dimension.

• Press enter to terminate the process.

• Type DIM in the command line it will prompt the user to select type of dimension, select type and press
enter to go to next step.
• Select object and click to create the dimension.
• Press Enter to terminate the operation.
• By typing DIM command in the command line, one needs to enter the type of dimension as well.
Spring 2023 ED Lab 07 Version 1.1

• DLI: it is used for creating horizontal and vertical dimensions.

• DAL: it is used for creating linear dimension parallel to the object.
• DAR: it is used for creating arc length dimension.
• DDI: it is used for creating diameter dimensions.
• DRI: it is used for creating radius dimensions.
• DCO: it creates a linear dimension from the second extension line of the previous dimension.
• DBA: it creates dimension by using the previously created dimension.
• DAN: it is used for creating angular dimension.
• DCE: it is used for creating center mark to a circle or an arc.
• QDIM: it is used for creating one or more dimensions simultaneously. Type this command and select
multiple objects. It will create dimensions for each object simultaneously.

Creating a Dimension Style

The appearance of the dimensions depends on the dimension style that is set. One can create customized
dimension style by varying values and types of different variables using dimension style manager dialog. This
dialog can be accessed by clicking on annotation panel name then dimension style tab and finally manage
dimension style or simply click on the dimension style icon after clicking on the annotation panel name. The
dialog can also be accessed using DIMSTYLE command. The dialog is shown in Fig. 1.

Figure 1: Dimension style dialog.

The basic nomenclature of dimensions is shown in Fig. 2.

Spring 2023 ED Lab 07 Version 1.1

Figure 2: Basic nomenclature of dimensions.

By default, the ISO-25 or the standard dimension style is active. If the default dimension style does not suit
the dimensioning requirements, one can create a new dimension style:
• To create a new dimension style, click the New button on the dimension style manager dialog; create new
dimension style dialog appears.

• Enter style name and other options as required in the above dialog.
• Enter style name start with (Standard or ISO-25) and use for (All dimensions or according to the
requirements) and press continue button.
• In the New Dimension Style dialog, click the Primary Units tab.
Spring 2023 ED Lab 07 Version 1.1

• Ensure that the Unit Format is set to Decimal.

• Set Precision to 0.00.
• Select Decimal separator ‘.’ (period).
• Same as above set other options as required, most of them are self-explanatory.
• Click the text tab.
• Select text style standard and click on the icon available on the right corner of the below image. By
clicking on this icon, a new dialog will appear where one can set font name, font style, and text height
etc.

• Ensure that the Text height is set to 1.

• Set current and press Apply button.
• In the text placement section, set the Vertical and Horizontal values to Centered in the text tab of
New Dimension Style Manager.
• Set the text alignment to Horizontal.
Spring 2023 ED Lab 07 Version 1.1

• Click the lines tab on the dialog.

• In this tab, notice the options in the extension lines section: Extend beyond dim lines and offset from
origin
• Set Extend beyond dim lines and offset from origin to 1.25.
• Set the Baseline spacing in the Dimension lines section to 5.
• Click the Symbols and Arrows tab and set Arrow size to 3 and Center Marks to 3.
• Click OK to accept the settings.
• Click Set Current on the Dimension Style Manager dialog; the new dimensional style will be set as
current.
• Click Close to close the dialog.

Adding Leaders
A Leader is a thin solid line terminating with an arrowhead at one end and a dimension, note or symbol at
the other end. For creating leaders in AutoCAD, its procedure is given below:

• Click on the multileader style in the annotation panel under home tab in the ribbon of AutoCAD.
• By doing so, the multileader style manager dialog appears.

• In the multileader style dialog, click the new button; then create new multileader style dialog appears.
• In the Create New Multileader Style dialog, enter ‘name’ in the new style name box and select Standard
from the start with drop-down menu.
• Click continue; the New Multileader Style dialog appears.
• Click the Leader Format tab and set the Arrowhead Size to 2.5.
• Study other options, these are self-explanatory.
• Click the Leader Structure tab and set the Landing Distance to 5.
• Click the Content tab and set the Text height to 2.5.
• Study other options in this tab, these are self-explanatory.
• Click OK on the Modify Multileader Style Manager dialog.
• Click Close to close the dialog.

Adding Dimensional Tolerances

Accuracy of a part is an important factor during manufacturing processes. However, it is impossible to
manufacture a part with the exact dimensions. Therefore, while applying dimensions to a drawing we provide
Spring 2023 ED Lab 07 Version 1.1

some dimensional tolerances, which lie within acceptable limits. The procedure for tolerances setting are
given below:
• Create a new dimension style with the name Tolerances.
• In the Tolerances tab, set the Method as Deviation.
• Set precision as 0.00.
• Set the upper value and Lower Value to 0.05.
• Set the vertical position as middle.
• Specify the following settings in the primary units, text, and symbols and arrows tab:

Primary Units Unit

format: Decimal
Precision: 0.00
Decimal Separator: ‘.’

Text
Text height: 2.5
Text placement: Centered
Text alignment: Horizontal

Symbols and Arrows

Arrow size: 2.5
Center Marks: Line

• Click OK on New Dimension Styles dialog.

• Click Set Current and Close the Dimension Style Manager dialog.
