Dimensioning to edge of hole or radius
Dimensioning to edge of hole or radius
(OP)
How do I set up the dimensioning so I can select the edge of a hole or radius as opposed to the center? Thanks.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Pre SW05:-
You select the edge & place the dimension, then RMB the dimension & select Properties then select the Arc conditions required.
SW05 & later:-
Depending on where you click the edge affects the positioning of the dimension points. The pre SW05 Arc conditions can also be applied.

Right-click, select properties. You will see three buttons: Center, Min, Max. The Min sets the dimension to the near edge of the arc, the Max sets it to the far edge of the arc.
Pick the one you want. Exit Properties.
Now double-click the dimension to specify the value.
Voila!

Thanks, CorBlimeyLimey! I had no idea they had added that feature. I usually pick near the center of the bottom of the circle (for Horizontal Dims) or the genter of the side (for Vertical Dims) so it always comes in as "Center." Cool!
