Jul 20, 2009 #5 mjcole Mechanical Jan 8, 2003 1,063 Williedawg is correct but if you start at the size reference and pick the centerline next you'll have less mouse travel. The leaders tab will allow you to switch the doubled dimension back to a radius if you need this. For Angle Dimensions you can have a construction line on opposite side of centerline, SolidWorks only considers solid lines on other side as problems. Michael Upvote 0 Downvote
