The [[Image:Draft_Snap_Dimensions.svg|24px]] '''Draft Snap Dimensions''' option shows temporary X and Y dimensions. They display the X and Y distance between the cursor and the previous point in the [[Draft_SelectPlane|working plane]] coordinate system. The dimensions are created on the [[Draft_SelectPlane|working plane]].
