Profile of surfaces
Profile of surfaces
(OP)
Hi,
Attached is ASME Y14.5M - 1994 standard (in pdf) for specifying profile of a surface for coplanar surfaces. How do I create those three phantom lines in SolidWorks? Is drawing lines over views only way, Are there any better ways?
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for your quick reply! Drawing phantom line(s) over views is not so terrible, but controlling gaps between ends of the line(s) and entities that points to is kind of awkward. I could dimension the gaps and then hide the dimensions. But again, I just feel not right to do them this way.

These phantom lines belong to drawing views. Although you can add them in model sketches and show them through the views, you can not make right gaps between ends of the lines and their referenced entities. If you scale views differently, these gaps will be different. They are supposed to look like gaps of extention lines of a dimension.
