2. Enter any one of the two dimensions of the layout. The value of the other dimension is automatically entered as
per the default aspect ratio.

• Distance: Specify the distance between the two selected points on this map. The unit of measurement is the one
mentioned in the New Location Node dialog box. Planner uses this information to scale the dimensions of the layout
and displays the same in the corresponding fields in the New Location Node dialog box.
Note: Ensure that the distance you specify in the Dimension dialog box is accurate. Otherwise, there may be a drastic difference between
the actual dimensions and the dimensions calculated by Planner.
