Dimensioning
Dimensions on a floor plan show size and location of the features. Proper placement of dimensions requires good judgment. Locate dimensions where one would logically look for them. In architectural drafting, dimension lines are continuous lines with the dimension figure placed above the line.

Dimensioning
Dimension figures are always parallel to the dimension line. Be consistent with the type of termination symbol used for dimension lines. Move dimension lines out from drawing. Space dimension lines 1/4" or 3/8" apart. Make leaders no longer than 2".
