Attaching radial dimensions

Attaching radial dimensions

Attaching radial dimensions

(OP)
I am designing a large round fixture (85" dia.) In my drawing I am only showing the cross sectioned view of the part and the fixture. I want to show the outer and inner diameter on the drawing with the double arrow at one end.

Please help.

RE: Attaching radial dimensions

What CAD package?  If they have a forum here, you might want to ask there.

RE: Attaching radial dimensions

Why ?

wouldn't it make more sense to show the diameter, and have the other diameter controlled by the thickness ?  unless if you are starting with a solid bar, and machining out the core ...

RE: Attaching radial dimensions

If acad you can use the lenth dimension to create
a new type of dimension say dia dim and supplement
the dimension with Dia. or Diameter.  We used this
technique for dimensioning bearing cross sections.

RE: Attaching radial dimensions

(OP)
The ring is hollow. It is conical in shape 85" dia at the base - 58" dia at the top 10" hgt. .63" thk. There is an inner and outer ring that support it off the floor. I made a sectioned view of the left side - looking at the front plane. I am just trying to show the outer and inner dia of the outer ring. I'm looking for the command to show dimension that has the double arrow on one side.

I am using Pro/E Wildfire 3.0
