Describe tabular dimensioning.

What will be an ideal response?


Tabular dimensioning is another form of rectangular datum dimensioning. As the term implies, dimensions from intersecting datum planes are given in a table. Tabular dimensioning helps to eliminate possible errors that could result from incorrectly reading a dimension when a large number is included on a drawing.

Values of X and Y are measured along the respective datum lines from their intersection. The intersection is the origin of the datums. Tabular dimensioning is recommended when there are a great many repetitive features. These would make a dimensioned drawing difficult to read. Dimensions may also be given on a second or additional view for operations to be performed along Z or other axes.
