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?

    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.
