The 3D Markup Dimension commands are called from either the Linear, Radial, Angular, or Smart Edge Dimension menus located on the 3D Document Toolbar.

Selecting a Point

When you choose a command that requires you to select points, red dots appear on the model that indicate where selections can be made. (If you do not see the red dots, you may want to go to the 3D Viewer Settings page and select the Points Visible on Picking check box.) 

Red crosshairs indicate when the pointer is properly positioned over a point. A yellow dot indicates that you have successfully selected a point.

Selecting an Edge or Arc

Some 3D Markup Dimension commands, such as Edge Length and Arc Diameter, require you to select an edge or arc that already exists on the model. When the pointer is properly positioned over an edge or arc, the line or arc is highlighted.

Calculate

To determine the volume, surface area, center of mass, bounding boxes, and weight of your model or part, right-click an item listed in the Assembly tree or on a model or part in the viewport to view the Assembly Context menu. Select Calculate, then select a function.

 Volume

 Measures the volume of a part.

 Surface

Measures the surface area of a part.

 Center of Mass

 Lists the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the center of mass of a part.

 Weight

 Measures the weight of a part.

 Minimum Bounding Box

The Minimum Bounding Box calculation finds the dimensions of the smallest box that could surround an object.

 Axis-Aligned Bounding Box

The Axis-Aligned Bounding Box calculation finds the dimensions of the smallest box that could surround an object where the bounding box is aligned with the X, Y, and Z axes.
