The following steps give an overview of semi-automating the placement of a string of dimensions with the Qdim command. This command only works for model space dimensioning.

1. Start the Qdim command.
2. Select the geometry to dimension using standard selection methods.

3. By default, a series of continuous dimensions is previewed. Right-click anywhere in the drawing to change the dimension types or options. Available options are: Continuous, Staggered, Baseline, Ordinate, Radius, Diameter, Datumpoint, Edit, and Settings.

4. Click to position the dimensions.

The dimensions are created.
