The process of specifying and marking the measurements or dimensions of an object in technical drawings or designs.
From 'dimension' + '-ing' (gerund form). Emerged as a technical term in engineering and architecture during the 20th century as standardized technical drawing became essential.
Dimensioning is an art form—engineers have rules about where to put measurement lines so builders don't make mistakes, and bad dimensioning has probably caused millions in construction errors!
