You can use reference dimensions to indicate the relative position of an object compared to some fixed point, such as a wall or steel column.

The ability to place or edit a reference dimension using relative coordinates is only available if the 3D coordinates of the referenced point are fully defined.

  1. Click Place > Reference Dimension.

  2. Click the pipe, component, or open end to define the location of the reference dimension.

  3. Click a second point in the Detail window to indicate the location of the reference dimension flag.

    The software opens the Reference Dimension dialog box.

  4. Define the reference point values, and then click OK.

    The software places the reference dimension in the sketch and displays its attribute information in the Properties window.

  5. In the Properties window, define the reference dimension attributes.

The table below lists attribute data for reference dimensions:
