Auto-Dimension

PrimeCut can automatically apply dimensions to parts which have a single external closed path.  

 

PrimeCut dimensions

width and height of the part

The length of several of the longest edges

hole and slot diameters

Hole center distances to the edges

A list of hole and slot sizes

Optionally hole Pitch Vectors (the center to center distance between a pair of similar holes)

Optionally Edge Vectors (the distance from the hole edge to the edge of the part, a useful quantity easy to measure at the machine when checking parts after they have been cut)

 

Parts can be automatically Auto-Dimensioned on import also.  (Parts with existing drawn dimensions are not Auto-Dimensioned automatically). See the options in the User Settings, Geometry tab.
