Dimensioning to OD of Cylinder?

Dimensioning to OD of Cylinder?

Dimensioning to OD of Cylinder?

(OP)
I created a part, which was basically a cylinder, with several stepped bore cuts thru the middle.

Something has changed within my Catia part model, because I can no longer select the OD to dimension one of the cuts.  I previously had a wall thickness dimension, but I deleted it and now I can't select the OD to add my dimension.  Its as though a setting changed on me.  Any ideas???

RE: Dimensioning to OD of Cylinder?

Please check that:
Tools -> Options -> Mechanical Design -> Drafting -> Dimensions (Tab) -> Dimensions Creation -> By default, create dimensions on circle's: (choose Center or Edge).

This is a tough one to memorize if you don't use it much.
