dimension callouts on assemblies
dimension callouts on assemblies
(OP)
Hey, this seems like it should be a pretty basic thing to me, so excuse my inexperience with .asm files. I need to callout some dimensions, just like you'd do on a part file (distance between 2 lines, etc). When I go to sketch and select that option, I'm unable to actually click on any of the lines for the different parts that I want dimensions between. I also don't know how to get the horizontal or vertical distance between 2 parts on different planes.
I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks

RE: dimension callouts on assemblies
Use the include command to convert the edge to a line then dimension.
Alternatively try PMI dimensions on the model not in a sketch.
To get the distances look at measuring in the help.
I usually use Minimum Distance which also gives you the X,Y and Z distances.
You can set to measure between any element or restrict the pick to faces, edges or keypoints and you can switch between these settings mid-command (so you can do edge to point)
