9. Dimension between the two vertical planes drawn in step 8, and create
an instance parameter for the dimension called UnitLength . Repeat
the process for the two horizontal planes drawn in step 8, with
UnitWidth as the parameter name. Add a dimension for the 4″ (100
mm) distance from the initial vertical plane and the vertical plane
drawn in step 8. Repeat the process for the 4″ (100 mm) distance
between the initial horizontal plane and the one drawn in step 8, as
shown in Figure 19.41 . Be sure to lock the dimensions by using the
padlock grip that appears when the dimension is placed.
