Use Industry-Standard Dimension Lines

Use Industry-Standard Dimension Lines

For consistency and for meeting building rules and regulations, industry-standard dimension lines in your floor plans and blueprints are a must.

SmartDraw not only includes dimension info for every wall and object automatically, but also makes it easy to toggle them on and off and to reformat them to suit your needs.

Here’s how:

Step 1

Create your floor plan with SmartDraw. Start with a template or from scratch. Note as you draw or resize objects, the dimensions are visible.

Step 2

To see the dimensions of any object on your drawing, simply click on it.

Step 3

To permanently view wall dimensions along your walls, click “Show Dimensions” in the SmartPanel.

Step 4

To permanently view dimensions of objects, select the object, then click “Dimensions” in the “Shape Properties” group of the Design tab. You can also change where and how the dimensions are shown.
