Question

How to get intersection witness lines on driven dimensions?

I am unable to enable intersection witness lines for driven dimensions in the model. It is grayed out in the dimension properties dialog. They work perfectly if I create a non-driven dimension directly in the drawing. If I create a feature in the model with a sharp corner and later add a fillet, then I cannot use the driven dimenison and get intersection witness lines. Is there are way to do this?

 

Thank you.

funny, we just got a group email about doing this.

enable intersection witness lines:

Open Drawing Properties options.

File>Prepare>Drawing Properties>Detail Options>Change

Find "witness_line_intersection", default is "no", use Add/Change to set it to "yes".

note: it only applies to new dimension

    Thank you.

    I'm aware of this option. The problem I'm having is applying them to 'driven dimensions'--those that appear when you click "Show Model Annotations". It works perfectly if I create a dimension directly using the Annotate tab in drawing mode.
