Welcome to Tutorial 5 of the Garden Seat.
You should be well along on your drawing; your model should be completed.
Make sure that everything is rendered; keep it simple for our working drawings.
Now on to dimensioning. Let’s change our dimensioning standard.
Create a new dimensioning standard called furniture standard and set up as I am.
Make sure you select the dimension standard from the drop down.
Now we will go to each layer and dimension each object found on that layer.
For our first in plan view I can select the arms the seat front and that’s it.
Now I will start dimensioning using the chain dimension.
I’m going to do the rest with out explanation, but remember it is important to be on the right layer when you dimension or you wont be able to snap.

Ok, that didn’t take too long, please make sure you are dimensioning on the layer the object is drawn on.
I put my text on the same layer I was dimensioning on but you could create a text layer and put all the names on it. It would actually make
editing easier later on.
