Diameter dimension on detailed view
Diameter dimension on detailed view
(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to recreate this old drawing in UG.
There is a detailed view of a cylindrical feature.
Only half of the cylinder is visible.
How can I make a dimension of its diameter with one extension
on the detailed view and the other extension just pointing in space with double arrow at the end. The original dimension was made manually with lines and arrow symbols assembled together and text instead of actual dimension. Can we do this in UGNX3?

Doing it this way ensures the dimension is associative to the model.

So, when placing your dim, one click is on the main view, the other click is on the detail view.
OR
You can temporarily enlarge you detail view boundry to show the entire bore (i.e. both sides),
place your dimension,
turn off leaders,
resize detail boundry to required size.
Hope that helps.
