Jogged Command in AutoCAD
The jogged command in AutoCAD is used to create a jogged dimension, which is a type of dimension that includes a break or offset in the extension lines. This command is typically used when dimensioning a part or feature that requires a clear and readable dimension with a visible offset in the extension line, often seen in architectural or engineering drawings.
To use the jogged command:
- Type DIMJOGGED in the command line.
- Specify the first extension line and then the second extension line where you want the jog to appear.
- Adjust the location of the jog by setting its distance from the original extension line.
- Click to place the dimension and adjust the jog angle as needed.
The jogged dimension helps make dimensions more legible and ensures that they are properly spaced when there are obstacles or clutter in the drawing area.
