SWX Newbie - Dim's to Outside of Arcs Rather than Ctr
SWX Newbie - Dim's to Outside of Arcs Rather than Ctr
(OP)
I'm a brand-new SWX user (with prior experience on SE 6 & Inv 6). I was fiddling with the slot feature from the palette and noticed something I've not been able to do myself:
They appear to have dimensioned the slot-length directly from the outside tangents of the two arcs. Whenever I try, it only lets me dim from Ctr to Ctr. To get around it I've used construction lines but that's a pain.
Can anybody tell me how to apply dimensions from arc/circle tangents (or quadrants) instead of only from centers?
Kind regards.
