8.4 Using Visio Dimension Lines

[@tubeisglube99]

Muchos gracias!! 20 years of using Visio for home renovation planning and I could never figure out how to get consistent dimension lines. 20 minutes spent with your tuto and I'm now an architect!! My builders are impressed. You have great teaching skills. Thanks a lot.

Any suggestions for kitchen appliances and cupboards so as to build an elevation drawing? Plenty of info on how to do data rack and tech gear elevations.

Great video! The one thing I was looking for however, I did not find. I am creating three dimensions from one baseline using "Vertical outside". I am having difficulty aligning the three dimensions to the same base point. I think this may be due to the lines overlapping. To rectify this, I tried using the "Vertical baseline" shape, however, after I set my first dimension, moving the yellow node for the second dimension accomplishes nothing other than moving the little yellow square--No second line appears. I'm using Visio Professional 2013. Thank you for any suggestions you can offer. I would also like to say I love this video because you speak clearly and to the point, and you don't have distracting background "noise". Many thanks!

Thankyou, great video, I'm using Visio pro 2019 and the dimensions units differ from page settings I've gone through different settings and there seems to be a bug.

Hard to help on such little info. I just ran a test, dropped an engineering dimension line on a 1:1 inch page, and the dimension read "1.0". Switched the page to metric, and the dimension line immediately displayed "25.4".

I just wanted to rotate the object by 0.5 degrees, couldn't find the solution unfortunately. :(

Try View > Show > Task Panes > Size & Position. You can also get the Size & Position panel by clicking Width/Height/Angle in the status bar at lower-left, when a shape is selected. The fields in the Size & Position panel accept math, so you can, for example add "+0.5deg" to the existing angle value to rotate a shape.
