PLANES & AXIS DIMENSION
PLANES & AXIS DIMENSION
(OP)
Hi all.
Monday...dont remind me..
I have a handle, like one that goes on a pot, with 2 holes to attach to pot.
Inserted axis into each hole, measures 18.5 from one to the other. Went to make a drawing - -both diamensions read 21. Added planes to the axis - - axis get 18. - planes read 21.
Whe are there different measurments for axis and planes when they are both in the same place?
What a day..
Thanks

RE: PLANES & AXIS DIMENSION
When you're selecting the axis to measure, how/where are you selecting? Also, instead of inserting axis, try turning on your temporary axis (View->Temporary Axis).

I removed 'RIP' from the extension, but then received a "Seek failed on C\:Docum..........\P01BP323.SLDPRT" error.
A quick Google found a few hits about that error but most were related to a file size of >2GB. This file is only 572KB.
Ripper2009 ... Maybe try again but without modifying the extension.

Try one of the other hosting sites listed in the FAQ.
RE: PLANES & AXIS DIMENSION
The exact logic of why this is happening is evading me, but the differences are due to how the axis are being projected in order to be measured.
To get a clear picture of what is happening.
1) Create a sketch on the 'Top' plane.
Create 2 lines and make them coincident with the 2 axis
Dimension the angle between the lines
You get 21 degrees
2) Now create a plane that is the 'Top' plane rotated 32.5 degrees clockwise. (Perp to front plane and in-line with the 2 axis)
Create a sketch on this new plane
Create the 2 lines and make them coincident to the 2 axis.
Dimension the angle between the lines
You get 18 deg
I think your axis are essentially compound, so they have vectors in all directions. So, the angle between them depends on the angle of the reference plane that they are projected on. You vary the angle of the reference plane, you vary the angle between the axis.
Hope this helps,
Lou

It took a little while, but eventually it downloaded from mooload. (I chose server 2 if it makes a difference)
I couldn't open the original file Rip posted, but the second one came in without any problems.

Does anyone have an idea then what the problem is besides me being on drugs? LOL

RE: PLANES & AXIS DIMENSION
The other problem is that you are not sharing your drugs.
