3d dimensioning
3d dimensioning
(OP)
In a 3d sketch, is it possible to dimension the x,y,z location of a point from the origin, instead of the length of the line?
Thanks

RE: 3d dimensioning
In my template files, I have the principle planes renamed ("Front"=XY plane, "Right"=YZ plane, and "Top"(=ZX plane)). Also, I have three axes added, in X-direction through origin, Y-direction through origin, and Z- direction through origin.
side note:
Because we model "in car position", horizontal" is not always really square to our design frame of reference. Using horizontal and vertical constraints in 3D sketches often leads to headaches when part orientation changes. It is often better for us to dimension w.r.t. absolute X, Y, and Z axes for this reason.

The construction lines or typing in the point coordinates are something I didn't think of. 3d sketching does seem difficult to me, but I am still at the bottom of the learning curve too.
