====================================================


1/ Command :

  • DTOD



2/ Description :

This tool allows you to measure the distance between two points on your drawing and instantly apply that measured value to an existing dimension object.

  • Value Override : Useful when you need a dimension text to reflect a specific physical distance measured elsewhere, or to force a value based on a measurement.

  • Format : The number format (decimal places) respects your current units settings (adjustable via the UNITS command).



3/ How to Use :

  1. Type DTOD in the command line and press Enter.

  2. Click the First Point to measure from.

  3. Click the Second Point to measure to.

  • The distance between these two points is calculated.

  1. Select the Dimension Object you want to.

  • The dimension text changes to match the measured distance.

  • Note: If you select a non-dimension object, the tool will prompt you again until a valid dimension is selected.
