<p>The Dimension Horizontal tool adds a horizontal dimension to a View. The dimension may be between two vertices, the length of one edge or the horizontal distance between 2 edges. The distance will initially be the projected distance (ie as shown on the drawing), but this may be changed to the actual 3D distance using the Link Dimension <a href="https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:LinkDimension.png" class="image"><img alt="LinkDimension.png" src="24px-LinkDimension.png" width="24" height="24" srcset="/wiki/images/thumb/e/e6/LinkDimension.png/36px-LinkDimension.png 1.5x, /wiki/images/thumb/e/e6/LinkDimension.png/48px-LinkDimension.png 2x" /></a> tool.

<ul><li> All Dimensions are extremely vulnerable to the infamous "topological naming" issue. It is not possible at this time to keep references to 2D (projected) or 3D (actual) geometrical objects in sync with changes in the model. It is recommended that Dimensions be added towards the end of the drawing creation process. </li></ul>
