Dimensioned Features

Dimensioned Features

Dimensioned Features

(OP)
I have a feature that is dimensioned to from the centerline of a plate and is on the upper half of the plate (above the centerline)  Lets say I want to move the dimensioned feature to the lower half of the plate.  Is there an easy way to do this without deleting the dimension and re-dimensioning?

Thanks
Chris

RE: Dimensioned Features

Pick the leader of the dimension you want to move along with hold the cntrl key then place the cursor over the new edge and release.

RE: Dimensioned Features

You can make the feature dimension driven.  Then drag the sketch entities to near the new position, then toggle the dimensin back to driving.
