DIMJOGGED Command
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.

AutoCAD Secrets – Master the Hidden Gems

When to Use DIMJOGGED:

  • Radii Outside Drawing Area: When the center of a circle or arc falls outside the visible drawing area, DIMJOGGED allows you to create a clear and accurate radius dimension without extending the drawing boundaries or using workarounds.
  • Confined Spaces: In tight layouts where standard radius dimensions might overlap or interfere with other elements, jogged dimensions provide a compact and readable alternative.

Visual Clarity: Jogged dimensions can enhance visual clarity and organization, especially in crowded drawings with multiple radius dimensions.
