Display diameter as linear dimension on PCD
Display diameter as linear dimension on PCD
(OP)
Hello,
I have got an item with a number of PCDs which I would like to dimensions horizontally above the item. Simple enough I thought, but though I can display the dimension as diameter on one leader, SW 2011 does not let me dimension them as linear dimension. Well, it does when I right click and choose "display as linear dimension", but unfortunately that dimensions does not snap horizontaly or verticaly.
I can easily get the required result on round shapes, holes etc but not on PCDs.
Any thoughts?
