Dimensioning Diameter of Seat, Vertical Fails
Dimensioning Diameter of Seat, Vertical Fails
(OP)
Good morning, I have a partial section fron view were I have a 70 degree seat and I have to dimension the diameter of the seat. NOrmally, in UG I would just use the dim vertical and be done with it in two seconds, but I am not in UG anymore. I can not get this crazy thing to dim vertical for hell or high water, it keeps giving me angel dimensions. I have HRL check in the options, but that does not seem to help and help is no help at all and I have been trying everything under the sun sense yesterday noon and nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions on this bug? I have hundreds of seats which must be dimensioned so this is a major problem for me. I am currently running SW2006 sp0.0. Thank you in advance to anyone for any suggestions or assistance.

Can you post an image? FAQ559-1100
using Smart Dimension you should be able to select the points at the ends of the "seat" & place the dimension vertically, horizontally or parallel to the angle.

I am tring to dimension the 70 degree seat and pull it out to just beyond the .250 MAX dimension. Thank you again for the help.

Are you picking the lines when you dimension? Try picking the intersection points where the lines intersect the bottom surface instead if the lines themselves. You should get a linear dimension that way.

You have to unlearn the UG way and learn the Swx way. I'm in the opposite boat trying to learn the UG way after doing it the Swx way. They have similarities but little differences that will drive you mad. And you're constantly thinking "this wouldn't take 5 seconds in "cad x"...argg.

Been using it for a little over a year so I've gotten it down fairly well but it's still not as easy as swx in most things. Especially part families, swx configurations is way more powerful. UG's expressions are way better so I could go back and forth all day.
Gtac is faster then the swx var treatment and you get talk to them directly but there support area message needs a serious overhaul.
