Auto positioning dimension in drafting
Auto positioning dimension in drafting
(OP)
Hi all,
I have created a model in sketch and drafted it .If i change the dimensions in the model,and give update
the dimensions in drafting gets updated but the position of the dimensions doesnt change with the model.
Again i have to reposition the dimensions .
How to avoid it and make the dimension positioning associative with the model,
Thanx,
Karthikeyan.J

let us suppose i create a rectangle 2 x 5 in sketch,and extruded it.In drafting i have used automatic placement and placed the dimensions.
Now if i change the value of rectangle as 4 x 8 in sketch and i have given update model and in drafting i have updated all views.The dimensions get updated but
Now u can see the model has become bigger and the dimensions are inside model in drafting ,That is the extension lines doesnt move as the model is changed .
How to fix this and make the extension line move with the model.
Thanx,

Origin
(Origin Tool dialog opens)
Select your dimension
Check the Associative box
select the line you want the dimension associative to
Apply
place dimension on drawing again
