Foreshortened Diameter in Detail View
Foreshortened Diameter in Detail View
(OP)
I tried to use the search function for past posts on this subject but the search tool does not seem to be working for any query.
I am trying to add a few foreshortened diameters to a drawing detail view but it does not seem to be working. I can drag the diameter from another view but it does not stick.

Eltron - I always use SmartDim's but I do not have the available option of selecting "foreshortened" as you have mentioned.
RE: Foreshortened Diameter in Detail View
When you ctrl-drag the dim, are you dropping it on the cylinder edge? What version of SW are you on?

RE: Foreshortened Diameter in Detail View
Are the diameter dimensions you are trying to use for the foreshortened dimensions created manually or by the Insert > Model Items function?
If manually, they must be created by selecting both sides of the outline/profile of the diameter ... not just the straight end of the diameter? ie. It must be a true diameter dimension, not just a linear dimension with a Ø symbol applied. Is the Ø symbol automatically applied?
RE: Foreshortened Diameter in Detail View
I have 2 idential bore diameteres (one on each side of the part). My detail view comes from the section view and I was inserting the diameter via "Insert Model Items" and selecting the bore on the opposite side (not the side with the detail view, if that makes any sense. Once I flipped the direction of the section view I was able to do it. This may be what JMirisola was trying to tell me.
Thanks for all the help :))))
