drawing - dimension not correct

wolfgang_maier

Hello,

i have a door frame with hinges 497.5 mm away from the edge. When i create a drawing and show the distance of the hinge, Onshape shows 351mm. What am i doing wrong?

I do not think Onshape supports dimensions in oblique views.  Note all the dimensions are incorrect in iso view.  The section view shows correctly.

Hello, 

I would say the 'Accepted' diagnosis is incorrect. A measurement is absolute, to consider any other value based on a view is absurd. 


I may suggest this phrasing ... and further direction ...

Not supported = Can perform the action. Resulting action provides an Error notification ( or no action / no result / out of scope of product ). 
Bug = Can perform the action. Resulting action is incorrect.

Bug(s) should be corrected in the product as they are misleading and incorrect.

Thank you.

Onshape already devolving into a cult? Downvotes against rational criticism?
Yup!

I agree; both with your terminology / analysis of the issue above and the absurdity of down-voting such a comment.  On behalf of the community "Sorry".  For what it's worth it's not normally like that here.

 I agree @mr_deek makes a good case for terminology.  Thanks for those definitions.

Oh look a couple of those down-votes have gone away
