To use a tool created from a dimension

  1. On a tool palette, click the dimension tool you want to use.
  2. Use the tool as if you selected the corresponding option from the Dimension menu or the corresponding button on the Dimension toolbar, following the command prompts.

    The dimension you create will have the same dimension style and properties as the tool you selected from the tool palette.
