DIMENSION SURFACE
DIMENSION SURFACE
(OP)
Hi All
Its happened in requently when dimensioning typically product drawing where surfaces are involved where I cannot select an arc in the drawing to dimension, as its a swept loft, surface. etc. Typcally I'll cheat and convert the entity and overlay a sketch arc to be able to dimension it.
Is there another way to dimension untrue arc entities in drawings? Thanks

RE: DIMENSION SURFACE
I think your solution is about the only one out there if you cannot send the file back to the Designer and tell him to make the file usable and editable. Surfacing is great for those push and pull Enigineers, but sucks when you want to make a drawing of the product. Which is why we try to stay away from Surfacing alltogether! Since the Industrial Designers are tried of getting hammered when we throw something back over the wall to them, they are starting to steer clear of surfacing when and where they can.
