Dimensioning to hidden line
Dimensioning to hidden line
(OP)
Is there a way in a drawing to dimension to a hidden line without having to create a section view. I am trying to show the depth of a pocket in a standard view showing hidden lines, but it will not let me smart dim to a hidden line.

That should be a FAQ.

Select your view first. Then goto pulldown Insert>Drawing View>Break-out section. Draw in an enclosed spline around the area you wish to break-out, and OK.
