how can i take dimensions to hidden lines

Use the "use" feature to grab the hidden line and bring it into your current drawing.  You can then dimension off that, and as you change your original drawing the "used" line will automatically update.

Also trying to do this in a drawing not part studio so the above method doesn't seem to work.

Is there a way to dimension to hidden features in a drawing?

Has anyone found a way to do this yet? I thought I was getting on well with Onshape until I started trying to put dimensions on a drawing.

I wonder if anyone has a solution for this. When I revolve a simple structure (hose like) I'm not even able to dimension the inner width (except when I create helper projections)

Having same problem here. Any solutions to showing dimensions between hidden lines in a drawing? I need to show the depth of a machined part on my drawing.
