Sketching in drafting and using driving dimensions to position sketch lines
Sketching in drafting and using driving dimensions to position sketch lines
(OP)
I am running NX8 and I am trying to position a sketch line at an angle off of a face of a cylinder (see attached). I went into the style menu of the view and under the general tab changed the extracted edges option to associative. I can grab the edge of the cylinder shown in the view and use a driving dimension to position the endpoint of the line at a certain distance. However, when I try to put in an angular dimension to position the line at an angle from the cylinder face, I am unable to select the extracted edge to put in that value. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks.
