Forcing Diameter dimension when "Smart" Dim defaults to radius.
Forcing Diameter dimension when "Smart" Dim defaults to radius.
(OP)
I am trying to dimension a part that has a bore for a shaft and a keyway. I would like to dimension this with a diameter dimension, but SW forces it to a radius dimension due to the keyway breaking the circle. It there a way to over ride this default and force a diameter dimension?
The brute force workaround I have used is to draw a construction circle and dimension to it, but I would like a better solution.
