- [Instructor] Now that we have our base views in,
we're gonna throw in some dimensions.
So if I come up into Rapid,
you're gonna notice some similarities
to what the Sketcher tool does.
So you'll see here Method, Driving.
We have Inferred, Driving, Driven.
For us we're just gonna leave everything at Inferred.
Measurement Method, Inferred, Horizontal,
Vertical, Point-to-Point, these look awful familiar
because this is again very, very similar
to how the Sketcher dimensional constraints work.
Now to note, there's no backward compatibility,
meaning if I apply a dimension
to the part here in the drawing,
I can't drive the solid or go back
into the solid and drive it,
so this is basically unidirectional,
it's not a bidirectional tool.
So for this, I'll just leave everything on Inferred,
again, just like the sketch, and start picking
what I want in dimension.
I can come in and if I want to dimension let's say this,
you'll notice it gives me a diameter value,
'cause I picked that curve which is basically a circle,
give me the diameter.
Now you have various options, and again,
this is something that's very site specific.
What you get when you first click on something,
is going to depend on the standard
that's being used at your site.
Is it an ISO standard, ASME standard?
Depending upon those standards,
it's going to give you what your dimension looks like,
how it's oriented.
For example, right now it's set up
with Text Over Dimension Line,
so if I look at the dimension line,
you'll see the text is over the top of it.
Now if I come over here and say Horizontal Text,
you'll notice that it gives me something different.
So it's all based off of that standard that you are using.
Now if I come in here and change this from Inferred,
and say diameter, you'll notice it changes it
to an actual diameter-style dimension
rather than the one that we had before
where it was almost like a point-to-point,
across the center, this is giving me the actual diameter.
And then if I want to, I can also come in here
and specify tolerances on that dimension,
as well as, depending upon if it's an inspection,
you can see here, you can see that's an inspection
for auto-ballooning that type of thing.
And then also how accurate is that dimension?
So right now it's up to one decimal place.
If I want it out to, for some strange reason,
up to five decimal places, you'll see here,
it changes just slightly.
So if I go back to one, it's gonna round, there we go.
It'll round up from zero to anything else that I pick.
So once I create that dimension,
you'll see that it's now written,
I clicked out in space to write that dimension down.
Now I'm gonna come back over here
and say Vertical for example.
So if I want to, I can say I wanna go from
that point to we'll say the top of the cover here.
And once again, you'll see, based off
of my settings that I had last time,
I have the dimension set up.
If I want to, I can change this.
I can say how about Text Over Dimension Line, right?
Some people like to see that Text Over Dimension Line
in that fashion.
Switch those around.
If you have text that you wanna add to the dimension,
here in this editor I can go in
and begin typing in that text, something like that.
You can do that below, that's above,
that's before, and that's after, okay?
This edit mode, if I click on that,
what happens is it locks that little editor down.
It won't go away now if I start moving around.
And now this allows me to manipulate
what the dimension basically looks like.
So if I want to, I can control the arrows,
are they in, are they out?
Let's do that, the type of arrow that I'm showing,
where they're coming from, right?
So you have all of these different options.
Again, I can do Arrow Line Settings,
and this takes me to the line settings here.
So pretty much everything you need
to adjust, change, manipulate your dimension,
comes along with the dimension.
All right, so let me go ahead and click,
create that dimension.
If I look under Settings as well,
you'll notice that I have that same Settings.
If I click on that, all of those
that you saw before are also listed here.
Stacking, Tolerances, do I have a Dual dimension?
Do I wanna show Jog, Dimension Line,
and so on and so forth.
Everything is shown here.
If I go into Text, I can show the type of units,
it has a comma, I want to change the comma,
I can make it a period.
All that stuff.
The Orientation, the Format.
So pretty much you can make whatever changes you want to
to that dimension as you go through and add these things.
If I go in and close this out,
wanna make overall change to existing dimensions,
I can just come in here and pick all of my dimensions,
and then use my Edit Settings.
So there may be a time when I've seen this in the past,
it's not too common where a format change occurs
and you have to update your drawings,
but in case you do have to,
you can go in there and just simply pick all the dimensions
and go into Edit Settings, and here you'll notice
that I have, you know I want to use a period,
what's my decimal places, what's my unit?
If I want to show a dual dimension,
whatever that may be, I can close,
now you'll see that is affecting all of the dimensions.
So if you have a bunch that are different,
you can just pick 'em all with the Edit Settings.
And remember, just 'cause I'm in a drawing,
doesn't mean I don't have my selection,
filters and my selection intent.
I can come over here and say Dimension,
and do a trap, and now I just have my dimensions picked,
so if you have a lot of dimensions
to do that to, you can just go,
set the filter, pick your dimensions,
and edit your settings right there
without having to actually double-click,
manually pick 'em all, onesie, twosie that type of thing.
So cleaned up, straightened up,
very nice editing tools there.
Also, Rapid again is just kind of a combination
of the rest of these.
There's Arc Length if you do need an arc length,
it's not a part of Rapid.
And then you'll also have Thickness,
which is not a part of Rapid as well.
So there's Chamfer, and Angular.
If I come in here and say, all right,
I want an angular constraint, right,
I can measure the angle between,
let's say I want this face and this face.
So as I move this around, you can see it's going
to determine what sector it's gonna place that angle.
And again, I have all of the options
as far as what I want that dimension
to look like once it's placed,
and then I can always go back and change it again.
So if you're not getting the dimension type you need here,
through here, you're gonna find those dimensions
throughout here as well.
So like chamfers, that type of thing.
