Drawing Dimensioning

[gatz]

Drawing of an 8" grinding wheel relief cut on a wood-plane blade.
In the assembly, an 8" x 1" thick Cut-Extrude was used to make the relief.
The centerline of the Cut-Extrude is inline with the edge represented by the .544 dimension shown in the top view. Only 1/2 of the 2" width has been cut away so that the 3.21 angle could still be shown. This is a driven dimension.

(1) How can it be shown (by dimensioning) that the Cut-Extrude centerline is indeed inline vertically with the .544 edge?
It seems I've run into this kind of problem before where a feature may be at 0.00 dimension to another feature, but how does one show it ??

(2)In the 'help' for foreshortening radius and diameter, SW states that a diameter will be foreshortened if the dimension lines go outside the view boundaries in which it appears. Why does the 8" dim extend past the view border? If this is in fact the default, how can it be forced into being foreshortened? Although a remedy, I really don't want to change this to radius.

(3)Is it possible to dimension across views?
If so, how is it done?

Thanks in advance,
Gatz

1) Use the Center Mark tool to show the centre of the 8" wheel. Draw a centreline from that point to the .554" edge.

3) If by "across" you 'mean between elements of different views', then no.
