Cad_Dimensions earns its place in the blender_extensions library for bringing a CAD-style measuring workflow to Blender, complete with a Cadify viewport mode and per-axis dimension buttons.
Cad_Dimensions is a Blender extension by Mr.Nobody3d that adds a CAD-like measuring system to your file. It lets you place dimensions and adjust their text location, size and orientation.
Once installed, the add-on gives you four buttons. Cadify changes the look of the viewport to mimic ArchiCAD, while the X, Y and Z buttons each create a measuring tool aligned to the respective axis.
Version 2.0.0 improved the dimension tool and added new ones, along with a rudimentary conversion to imperial units. The extension is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It can be added by dragging and dropping the extension into Blender or by installing it from disk. It's listed here as free.
Cad_Dimensions is best for blender users who want a CAD-like dimensioning tool with axis-aligned measurements and adjustable text.
Cad_Dimensions is completely free to download and use.
Cad_Dimensions is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so recent Blender releases can run it.
