Hi all.

Monday...dont remind me..

I have a handle, like one that goes on a pot, with 2 holes to attach to pot.
Inserted axis into each hole, measures 18.5 from one to the other. Went to make a drawing - -both diamensions read 21. Added planes to the axis - - axis get 18. - planes read 21.

Whe are there different measurments for axis and planes when they are both in the same place?

What a day..

Thanks

Rip

The "problem", as GLED pointed out, is that the axes are at a compound angle. The planes you created, however, are not. They are just rotated through one angle ... perpendicular to the Top plane and along the axis.

The other problem is that you are not sharing your drugs. [hippy]
