Broken Diameter on Drawing
Broken Diameter on Drawing
(OP)
All-
Solidworks 2008 SP 3.1
I have a detail view (8:1) of an O-Ring groove profile. The center line of the groove is not shown in the view, and I'm looking to create a broken diameter dimension to reference the center of the groove.
I know it's probably a simple question, but how is this done?
Thanks.

The foreshortened dimensions will only work with dimensions placed by the Insert > Model Items function.

Sounds like a pain, but it's a simple enough work around for things like that.

I read that. Thank you. For some reason I can't get the diameter dimension to drag to the detailed section view. I used the Insert>Model Items function for all the dimensions, but I can't seem to get it to work. Is there a particular place that I need to click and drag the dimension to move it to another view?
