4.The angle can be fixed with a click. 5.By moving the mouse, you can set the distance between the dimension figure and the object it applies to. Alternatively, enter the distance in figures and confirm with the Enter key. Step 6 will not then apply. 6.Now fix this distance by clicking the mouse. The tool will stay active until you deactivate it using the Esc key or the Cancel context menu item. |
