Basic Dimensioning with
AutoCAD
How to annotate simple drawings for
use in constructing an object
Learning Objectives
Be able to understand the basic rules of
dimensioning
Apply dimensions to objects in accordance
with engineering standards
Define the following items: Dimension line,
Extension line, Reference dimension, and
Leader
Be able to recognize the following machined
holes: Spotfaced, Counterbored, Countersunk,
& Counterdrilled.

Basic Dimensioning
Dimensions allow a part to be manufactured
Dimensions are ALWAYS in real world units
Dimensions should be applied in a concise,
coherent manner
4
Dimension Terminology:
5
Extension lines Extension lines
should be offset
from the part by
one half the text
height and should
extend one text
height beyond the
dimension line
6
Dimension Spacing The first row of
dimensions must be
a minimum of 3
text heights away
from the part.
Any dimensions
beyond it must be a
minimum of 2 text
heights apart
7
Arrowheads:
Should be 3 times longer than they are wide.
8

AutoCAD Dimension Variables:
43
Spotfaced holes:
No depth required. Cleans an uneven surface deep
enough to allow full contact with bolt or washer.
44
Counterbore holes
Require both a diameter and a depth dimension.
45
Counterdrilled holes:
Require both a diameter and a depth dimension. (measured
to the shoulder).
46
Countersunk holes:
47
Chamfers:
48
Necks:
Necks are
used for “O”
ring seals,
parts turned
on lathes,
and designed
failure points
49
Knurls:
Knurling is a
process of rolling
patterns onto
cylindrical
objects to make
them easier to
grip.

Dimensioning in small places
51
Repetitive features
A combination of
dimensioning & notes
is used. A number in
parenthesis indicates
how many are
required. The word
TYPICAL (or TYP)
indicates that all
shown are the same.
52
SI symbol
When dimensions on
the drawing are all
stated in millimeters,
place an SI symbol
near the title block.
53
SI symbol:
1st vs 3rd angle projection.
54
Finish marks:
Rough surfaces that
need to be machined to
provide a smooth,
finished surface are
indicated with finish
marks. The vertex of
the √ needs to touch
the edge view of the
surface.
