The next examples will go through the basic workflow of creating automatic dimensions on view level. The goal is to create drawing properties that you can use later on to create similar drawings, including all necessary views, having the dimensions that you want, just by loading the appropriate drawing properties file and then creating the drawing.

If you want to use Integrated dimensions, see Add automatic view-specific dimensions using dimensioning type Integrated , or dimension spiral beams, see Dimension spiral beams.

The workflow consists of four tasks:

1. Define the drawing properties file

2. Define the drawing views to be created

3. Define view dimensions

4. Connect view properties to views and save drawing properties
