Dimensioning Problems - TRUE?!

Dimensioning Problems - TRUE?!

Dimensioning Problems - TRUE?!

(OP)
Whenever i try to dimension a radius or diameter of a part in a drawing, i get   "TRUE O.45"  or  "TRUE O2.20". My drawing doesnt have enough room to be cramped up with 100 true's, is there any way to possibly get this off.

RE: Dimensioning Problems - TRUE?!

Hi uridial

The problem here is that the system only puts in the word TRUE if the dimension is added to a view in which the plane of the arc is not parallel to the plane of the view.

If you do all the dimensioning in a normal orthogonal view you wont see the word TRUE unless the circle/radius is on a sloping surface as seen in that view.

Sadly I dont know of any way to avoid the TRUE entry when the circle or radius is being done 'out of plane'

I did scour the 'Format Standards' and 'Format Dimensions' but could not find a reference which might get rid of the pest which most international standards say should be there.

Ralph Tilbrook
