Dimensioning a Radius Groove?????
Dimensioning a Radius Groove?????
(OP)
Good afternoon, I have a single part which is a an extruded cylinder, .537 diameter, if it matters. On that cylinder I have a .031 R groove, for a snap ring, which at the bottom of the radius, I need to add a dimension, .502 diameter. So far the only thing I have been able to do is once again lie. This thing will not pick up the bottom of teh radius, or tangent edge, if you like so does anyone have any suggestions on any possiblities on how to do this? I won't say were this was a piece of cake, but I need to show the machinist the dimensions. Thank you in advance for any assistance rendered.

Did you try a section, it should be able to pick up an arc then?

would you mind airing out your dirty laundry.....I'm sure we're all interested in your MCAD background. As you can see in my profile I use SWx & Pro/e 2001 on a daily basis.

Still, I did it your way and didn't have any trouble dimensioning it. Have you tried to lock the view focus, I know in the past you couldn't select silhouettes if the view focus wasn't locked on that view.
What version of Solidworks are you using?

If you have the centre points dimensioned by clicking the arcs, all you have to do now is RMB the dimension, select Properties, then select "Min condition" for both points.

You have to remember this is not UG & should not be used as if it is. SW has its own way of doing things, just like any other CAD package does. Turn on all the shortcuts & menu selections by Tools > Customize > Options and select both Show All buttons. Then experiment with all the ones you haven't seen or used before.
Most members here have transitioned from one package to another. Gildashard has gone from SW to UG, he doesn't complain about it ... too much.
