GGU-CAD: "Dimensioning" menu item

After going to this menu item a dimension line can be created by clicking two points. The two points are then connected and the length of the line computed and added to the drawing. The settings made in the "Preferences/Dimensioning" menu item are adopted. Extension lines and dimension arrows are added, if this is activated. The font size corresponds to the settings made in the menu item "Preferences/Default text/pen".

The sequence of the two points of the dimension line are crucial. Annotation is normal for a horizontal dimension line if the left point is clicked first. Annotation is rotated by 180° if the right point is clicked first.

By pressing x or y annotation can be restricted to horizontal or vertical dimensioning only. Pressing w releases this and allows free dimensioning again.
