Tip: If you generally prefer one of the dimensioning modes over the others, you can save it in a drawing template. To do this, use File / Save As to save the file as a .2ct file (TurboCAD LTE Template). Place the template file in the "Template" folder of the TurboCAD LTE root directory. Then when you want to open the template, use *File / New, and select New from Template.
In Segment mode, select any line segment, and the dimension between endpoints is created.
Segment mode - orthogonal dimension
Segment mode - parallel dimensionIn Entity mode, select an object, and the largest dimension in the specified direction is created. This is useful for dimensioning objects like polylines, polygons, rotated rectangles, etc.
Entity mode - orthogonal dimension
