As you draw new 2D geometry, you can use the options on the Auto-Dimension page of the IntelliSketch dialog box to add dimensions automatically.

1. Choose the IntelliSketch command located on the Home tab→IntelliSketch group or the Sketching tab →IntelliSketch group.

2. On the Auto-Dimension page of the IntelliSketch dialog box, select Automatically Create Dimensions For New Geometry.

3. Set the other dimensioning options that you want IntelliSketch to use as you draw.

4. Choose a drawing command.

5. Move the cursor around on the drawing sheet to find IntelliSketch relationships. Click when IntelliSketch recognizes a relationship you want to use for the element you are drawing.

   Note:

   As you draw the element, the appropriate dimension type is attached to it. For example, when you draw a circle, a diameter dimension is added automatically. When you enter the second point of a line, a length dimension is displayed.

6. Move the cursor to position the dimension with respect to the element, and then click to place the dimension.
