Hello

 

This is indicated in the help:

There are several ways to align dimensions and notes using inference lines, grids, and alignment tools.

Inference Lines

You can align dimensions and notes by using the inference lines that appear when dragging.

Drag the text in dimensions or notes to the new location. Use inference lines to align and position them.


Drag a dimension and "snap" it to the text on another side, as indicated by the dashed inference line.
Drag a note and "snap" it to the text of a dimension, as indicated by the dashed inference line.

 

You can also use the grid:

 

Grids

You can drag and snap dimensions (not notes) to the grid.

Hello

You have to select all the dimensions impacted with CTRL pressed and click on the icon with 2 arrows

Select your dimensions to align, then Tools/Dimensions/Colinary/Radial Align.

Hi @ Sodima Workshop

 

if you need to align sides it's probably for the drawing

 

so look at this tutorial

As stated in my first message:

 

"inference lines that appear when dragging [of dimensions or notes]."

Hello

 

Otherwise, there is also the solution to select the dimensions to align, then click on the icon that appears to open the dimension management tab. All you have to do is click on Align collinear. The advantage is that it also aligns the inclined ribs.
