linear dimension

URL copied Share URL
  1. [measurement, spatial analysis] A measurement of the length and distance—horizontal and vertical—of a feature, or of the distance between two features. Linear dimensions may not represent the true distance between beginning and ending dimension points because they do not take angle into account as aligned dimensions do.
