Creating Rotated Linear Dimensions

The RotatedDimension command creates an oblique Dimension about an angle you specify for the dimension line. The distance between the defining points is measured along the specified rotation (parallel to the oblique dimension line).

To create rotated linear dimensions:

1. Type RotatedDimension at the command prompt.
2. In the graphics area, select the first and second extension line origins.
   
   - or -
   
   Press Enter, then select an entity to dimension. You can select Lines, PolyLines, Circles, and Arcs. The start and end points of linear entities, or the diameter of circular entities are measured.
3. Click to place the dimension lines or specify an option:
   
   Angle, Note, and Text: See Editing and Formatting Dimension Text.
   
   The measurement is placed as dimension text based on the definitions of the current DimensionStyle.
