Adobe Illustrator Dimensioning Tool

[David Spreadbury]

True, AI does not have a dimensioning tool, at least not in the sense of AutoCAD, ProE, or similar applications.But, you can manually create dimensions on your illustrator objects.Take a look at this video https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KLqITdoXhUpggAzyz7w8QF;_ylu=X3oDMTBzM3UzbjRzBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDBGdwb3MDMTA-?p=dimensioning+with+adobe+illustrator&vid=647a3001d42a0728b08befc721d582b4&l=1%3A21&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DVN.608010766394131067%26pid%3D15.1&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DF1Rcm3JtUR4&tit=Size+Measurements+in+%3Cb%3EAdobe+Illustrator%3C%2Fb%3E&c=9&sigr=11bo7k4sb&sigt=11d03ug6q&age=0&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Av%2Cm%3Asa&&tt=b. It shows how to determine the exact size of an object, or a group of objects. You can then manually apply the dimensioning lines and place the values in the appropriate locations.If that link didn't come through, just Google for 'dimensioning with adobe illustrator'.

Subject: Adobe Illustrator Dimensioning Tool    Hi,    Hopefully, it is ok to ask this question here.    Does anyone know if AI has a dimensioning tool, please?    I have used Corel Draw in the past and it had a very easy to use tool, to enable dimensioning of objects (width, height, etc ).    A quick online search revealed that a plugin is required. Is this so?    Thanks,    Denis
