Description

The 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 working plane coordinate system. The dimensions are created on the working plane.

After having snapped a first (reference) point, temporary dimensions locate the current point to be snapped
