To get the correct dimensions (British Standards) you must go to:
File > Document Settings > Document Preferences > Dimensions.
You then need to create a new dimensioning setting and call it something you will remember. You will get this screen and you need to change this 0 to 2 to ensure that your dimensions do not touch your drawing.
You may have to draw "phantom circles" in order for the circle dimension to work. No Problem, just draw the circle the exact size you need but change the line and fill to none. You won't see this circle, but the computer will then be able to dimension it :)
You need to make sure that your outlines/hidden detail are black and thicker than the dimensions.
You should put in centre lines and the section plane in red.
You should make your dimensions green or blue.
The MAIN focus of the drawing should always be the camera! Not the dimensions.
Make sure that you only ever draw a dimension once, and don't make your drawing too messy with too many dimensions all over the place.
