In the Siemens nx sketch rapid dimension use to create a dimensional constraint by inferring the dimension type based on selected objects and the cursor’s location.

Where do you find it?

+ From the menu (Top border bar): insert -> sketch constraint -> dimension -> rapid.

+ From the home tab: Direct sketch group -> dimension drop-down -> rapid dimension.

+ Press D key from your keyboard.

How to control dimension in nx.

+ Inferred dimensions: create a dimensional constraint by inferring the dimension type base on selected objects and the cursor’s location.

+ Horizontal dimension: create a horizontal distance constraint between two points.

+ Vertical dimension: Create a vertical distance constraint between two points.

+ Point to point dimension: create a parallel distance constraint between two points.

+ Perpendicular dimension: Create a perpendiculars distance constraint between a line and a point.

+ Angular dimension: Create an angular constraint between two non-parallel lines.

+ Diameter dimension: Create a diameter constraint for an arc or circle.

+ Radius dimension: Creates a radius constraint for an arc or circle.
