Lesson summary

You can define dimensions necessary for manufacturing and other downstream functions directly to a model's edges and faces. In fact, you do not have to create any dimensions in the 2D sketch at all. You can wait until a base feature exists to perform all of the dimensioning work.

QY CAD provides a unified set of dimensioning commands whether you're working with a 2D sketch or placing dimensions on a 3D model. This single tool set simplifies your work, allowing you to focus on the job at hand instead of hunting for a unique 2D or 3D command.

PMI dimensions are created indirectly through sketch migration, and by directly adding them to the model.

You can change the size of the model by changing the value of one or more PMI dimensions.
