To ensure accurate dimensions, snap to the reference elements and points when using dimensioning tools. For information about snapping, see Using Tentative Points. However, snapping is unnecessary with the Element Dimensioning tool.

To use reference scaling in a dimension, snap to an element in the reference when entering the first data point. The Reference Scale is set in the Dimension Styles dialog box (Placement category).
