Trying to create a circle of 850 m diameter
(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to create a circle of 850 m diameter to be the path for a swept boss or extruded boss and SW is not accepting it, is there a limit for parts dim. in SW ?
thanks

There shouldn't be a limit. Just for kicks, I tried this with no problems...
I have SW2008, SP3.1, 64Bit

If you still see the leaders of the dimensions but the text is not there, or is a small dot, try changing the Doc Properties settings to "Always display text at the same size"

Clicking on F to get the full size , it will ignore the circle and will only show the original drawing.
So i don't think its the dimension font or text

Linear dimensions are limited to 500m, which should allow a Ø1000m circle.

the circle's Radius is 850 and not the diameter, I am sorry for that but i was confused,so from CorBlimeyLimey's reply: that 850 m as a radius will not be acceptable.
Is there any work around ?
Thanks

As a workaround try scaling. Use centimeters to replace meters for the parts too big for SWX to handle. Your 850m circle can easily be drawn at 850cm. If you already have something modeled in meters you can scale it down to cm and still use it.
