18.22. - Dimensions manually added to a drawing can be displayed with a

parenthesis to indicate they are Reference Dimensions. Reference dimensions

are used to provide additional information to the drawing, don't have a tolerance

and oftentimes their value depends on other dimensions.

Reference dimensions are usually not critical to the design and are not used

for manufacturing or inspection. In this component, the 1" diameter dimension is

not critical, and it will be marked as reference. To add the parenthesis, select the

dimension and in the Property Manager turn on the "Parenthesis" option .

Parentheses can be added by default to reference (manually added)

dimensions. This option is set in the menu "Tools, Options, Document

Properties, Dimensions, Add parentheses by default." This is an option

set by document or template and is not a system option.
