Angle dimension in a Drawing
Angle dimension in a Drawing
(OP)
Good afternoon, I have a model and I imported it into a drawing to dimention it. All was well till I tried to dimension the three tapered cylinder angles. I am trying this on the sectioned view and I am using ANSI dimensioning. What I would like to do is have SW put a horizontal dimention line under the taper cylinder and have the dimension arrows touch the cylinder angle and the horizontal dimention line and display the angle, which is half of the total taper angle. So far the only thing I can get is the total angle or the reverse of what I want using one of the vertical edges. I hope I am being clear enough here. Thank you in advance to anyone with a solution to this problem.

Failing that, you may need to add a horiz sketch line in the drawing view to dimension from or dimension from the axis (centreline).

How about using the insert dimension function? Why dimension the same thing twice?

Also it could be a long while between creating the model & creating the drawings, so it acts as a reminder for me ... and the way my memory is going, I need all the help I can get.
