"Bounding Box" output question.

[biflic]

When I select info model size on the menu I get the length of the bounding box diagnal. Is there a way to get the length of the legs of the box and it's thickness? Our custmers standard is plate sizes must be given in bounding box format. e.g. a 1/4 thick triangle with a 5 leg and a 7 leg would be shown on the bom as 1/4 x 5 x 7 plate. Other geometry is not so easy to pull the x, y, z bounding box dimensions from.



Is there anyway I can get x,y,z bounding box dimensions easily?



thanks

Try creating sketched datum curves that represent the bounding box. Constrain them to your geometry so that they will move with it. Use a reference dimension to obtain the length of the curve in sketcher. Use the reference dimensions in a note on a drawing.
