Dimensioning

 

Discussion List

  • Dimension in Detail View

    Is it possible to create a dimension in a Detail View that references geometry outside the boundary of the Detail View. For example, I want to show the radial distance of a feature but the center of the radius is not included in the Detail View.

  • How do I dimension an image with different aspect ratio

    I am trying to scale this image to the correct dimension but the sketch could not be solved. What am I doing wrong? Is it not possible for Onshape to change the image dimensions?

  • Is it possible to use the "show dimensions" tool for a featureScript created sketch?

    I'm having an issue where the dimensions are unavailable for a sketch that was generated through featureScript. Selecting the option does nothing and Im assuming that it is related to the fact that it was created via a featurescript. I have 3 speculations as to why this doesnt work: * This arc was created as an arc using 3…

  • Circle that will not dimension correctly

    This probably belongs in a different discussion board. In any case, a student is having trouble dimensioning a circle in a sketch. It is tagged in this document. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/1c8e9414d3e480682fcfdcf1/w/12fa81bb21733025a2530045/e/da809c47ff6825349b3c103c The circle in question is in the last sketch in…

  • Hole callout precision

    When using the hole callout tool there is no option for controlling the precision of the hole diameter or the depth, it just takes on the overall drawing precision. Is there a way to do this?

  • Can the leader line on a radius callout extend to the center point?

    I would like to be able to insert the R2.35 dimension with a line extending to the centerpoint and the text outside of the radius. I am getting this: How do you force the leader from the center? Similar to what is shown:

  • Why do I lose other dimensioning options when changing base dimension value in drawing

    I am dimensioning a drawing. If I use the 'part value' then I have options to set other units, GDT, etc. However if I change the dimension value resolution (in my example .714 -> .7140) then I lose all other options (they are all greyed out) (FWIW I'm using the web app on Firefox)
