Abstract
An object to be dimensioned may have such a small dimension that the dimension text will not fit within a space defined by extension lines. A dimensioning method is provided that exaggerates extension lines () of small dimensions so that the dimension text will fit within the space the dimension line has between the extensions lines although the dimension itself is not changed.
