DIM EXIT AUTOCAD COMMAND

Description :
Dimensioning sub-command: Exits the dimensioning program and returns from the Dim: prompt to the normal Command: prompt

DIM DIAMETER AUTOCAD COMMAND

Description :
Dimensioning sub-command: Draws a dimension through the center of a circle or arc, calculating the diameter, with one of the arrow heads located at the point on the circle or arc which is picked.

DIM CONTINUE AUTOCAD COMMAND

Description :
Dimensioning sub-command: Continues a linear dimension from the second extension line of the previous or selected dimension. It is used to create a so-called string of dimensions. This is used quite a bit in architectural drawings.

DIM CENTER AUTOCAD COMMAND

Description :
Dimensioning sub-command: Draws a pair of crossed lines at the center of a circle or arc on the current layer

DIM ANGULAR AUTOCAD COMMAND

Description :
Dimensioning sub-command: Draws an arc and calculates the angle between two non-parallel lines, and draws the text and arrowheads. Arrowheads are the standard AutoCAD filled triangles, regardless of your defined Arrow Block.

DIM ALIGNED AUTOCAD COMMAND

Description :
Dimensioning sub-command: Draws a linear dimension with the dimension line parallel to the selected dimension origin points. This lets you align a dimension with an angled line that is not either exactly horizontal or vertical.

DIM1 AUTOCAD COMMAND

Description :
Same as above, but only allows one dimensioning command to be used, and then takes you automatically back to the drawing editor and the Command: prompt.
