sw2003-dimension vs. measure-using both I get different numbers
sw2003-dimension vs. measure-using both I get different numbers
(OP)
I'm trying to verify that I have two faces at the correct distance apart. When I use the measure function, and select the two parallel faces it gives me .06250000, when I use the dimension function it gives me .03308052. I'm selecting the same two faces. I tried making a sketch perpendicular to these faces, convert entities to project the edges of the faces to the sketch, then place a dimension which reads .0625000, then I used the measure function on these converted lines and it gives me .06250000. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Sometimes, when items are parallel but apart one from the other (parallel faces at different levels) SW does not show the orthogonal dimension. It shows a diagonal dimension (for example between the faces edges). If you are viewing the part perpendicular to the faces you are not able to see that the dimension is in a diagonal plane (unless the surfaces are too much apart - is this case you can see that the dimension arrows are smaller than they should be caused by the perspective) and it seems to be an error.
After some problems like this, in 3D, I allways trust only in the measuring tool. If I need a dimension I allways rotate the model to verify that SW as the right dimension.
