Catia R20 Dimensioning
Catia R20 Dimensioning
(OP)
So I'm trying to dimension a section cut of a wheel. I try to put majority of my dimensions at the top of the profile, but why does my leader point to the bottom? Even if I try to put an intersection point, the resulting point will be at the bottom of the profile. I can mirror the stuff up just fine, but I shouldn't need to do this. Has anyone ran into this problem before?

RE: Catia R20 Dimensioning
are you talking about Drafting or FT&A module?
I have a hard time understanding the problem.
RE: Catia R20 Dimensioning
Instead of having us guess at what the problem is, make a dummy file and send us a picture of that.

I will click on radius A, but the leader will terminate at radius B location. I'm not able to move it from B to A.
I can also try to make an intersection point using Line 1 and Line 2, the point will be created by Line 3 and Line 4 instead.

Normally, for consistency between all users of company, the standards are the same for all users. (that way one user can't draw with a different font than an other one. )
If you log yourself as admin, you can change your settings (tool, standard) in order to change your default settings. I believe you can verify on this forum for the exact way to do it.
RE: Catia R20 Dimensioning
1. I'm able to dimension Radius A, with the dimension appearing on the top.
2. I'm able to create the Point on the top between Lines 1 & 2 (I had to constrain it coincident to the two lines).
It seems that you are in some kind of "symmetry mode" that I've never seen before. I think it has to do with your settings. Do other users where you work have the same problem?
Some things to try:
1. run the CATDUA to clean the drawing file
2. exit CATIA, delete your CATSettings, and restart CATIA and try again.
3. It might be the drafting standard as Supergee suggested. Use FILE + Page Setup to use a different standard (looks like you're using ISO which should be good)
RE: Catia R20 Dimensioning
I will check my settings, and see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback all.
