Foreshortened (clipped) linear dimensions
Foreshortened (clipped) linear dimensions
(OP)
Hi. I've been asked to provide some reference dimensions for our machine operators for x,y,z locations of certain features. For this to work, I need to be able to use clipped (linear) dimensions in some cases, which doesn't seem to work in solidworks.
I'm wondering if there is any way to do this in solidworks?
Please see the attached image, I marked up what I want.

I think foreshortened linear dim's are still not available, unless the view is broken.

Fiddle with the break lines to get it right.
