# Adding a Dimension to a Slab Edge

Like other Stencil shapes, you can add a dimension to a Slab Edge to display the slab length or to help you manage the shape.

To add a dimension to a **Slab Edge**:

1. Right-click the Slab Edge shape
2. Select **Add a Dimension** from the menu that appears.

The dimension appears, showing the length of the Slab Edge.

**Note**: The dimension type Handset Designer adds from this menu is an Aligned Dimension. You may add a different dimension type from the **Annotation** tab. Refer to [*Working with Dimensions in Handset Designer*](/v1/docs/working-with-dimensions-in-handset-designer) for more information.
