A Simple Guide to Dimensions ...

This drawing (shown to the left) is symmetric about the horizontal centre-line.

Centre-lines are chain-dotted and are used for symmetric objects, and also for showing the centre of circles and holes.
Drawing dimensions should generally be done directly to the centre-line, as shown on the left. In many cases this method
can be clearer than just dimensioning
between surfaces.

Note again that the measurements show only numbers. The statement at the bottom of the drawing identifies that these numbers are the dimensions in Millimetres.
