dimensioning cad items to centers

[Tim O'Donnell]

place marker(s)...

for a rectangle

turn on midpoint snap and perpendicular extensions...when the extension indicates you are at right angles to the midpoint of the side you want to dimension place a marker....these can be at any distance out from this midpoint if you want...if you want to move the extension on the dimension after you create the dimension, jsut slect the extension and grab one of the end handles and move like you woould a cad line...very easy very fast...
