Drawing: Dimensioning a 3D view. [WF4]

Imagine a simple cube 50mm x 50mm x 50mm.

If I place a isometric view down on the sheet, how can I dimension that view accurately? Simple dimension creation seems to project the dimension lines flat to the page which gives an false dimension. Showing the dimension doesn't work either, See picture:

Use Show/Erase to show a model dimension or create an annotation dimension and show that that in the 3D view.

Showing the dimension will not work. Can you be more specific on creating annotation dimensions and displaying them in a drawing?

If it's not working check your drawing options *.dtl for the option allow_3d_dimensions and set to yes. These are shown model dimensions. You can also create annotion features in the model that will do the same.
