AutoCAD Secrets – Master the Hidden Gems

The DIMJOGGED command in AutoCAD is used to create a jogged (or “jog”) dimension line for circular objects, like arcs and circles, to represent the radius when the center point is off the drawing or otherwise inconvenient to display. This is particularly useful in crowded or scaled-down drawings where space is limited and showing the full radius dimension would be impractical.

Key Features of the DIMJOGGED Command:

  • Jog Symbol: Inserts a jog (zigzag) in the radius dimension line to indicate that it’s not to scale or is “jogged.”
  • Adjustable Positioning: You can control the placement of the jog, allowing it to be placed along the radius dimension line wherever it best fits.
  • Maintains Accurate Radius Information: Even though the dimension is visually modified, the radius value displayed remains accurate to the object’s true size.
