Dimensioning distance in Layouts
In Layout viewports, objects in detail views are annotated with the model space distance.
In this example, the blue circle is in the layout viewport. Its radius is annotated as 40 units (the layout space distance). The red circle is in a detail viewport. Its radius is annotated as 400 units (the model space distance) whether the radius dimension is created in the detail viewport or the layout viewport.
