Question

Move both witness lines together?

Hi all.

Is there a way in Creo 9 on a drawing to move both witness lines for dimension together?  Sometimes I would like the gap closer or farther away on one specific dimension and I end up moving both independently and just eyeballing to make them about the same side-to-side.

The only workaround I’ve found is to add a dummy dimension and use control to select that and my real dimension together then move one witness line and they all 4 move together.  The go back and delete the dummy dimension.

I’ve seen the how-to’s on the PTC site and other users descriptions, like selecting the dimension and the drawing view using ctrl but that never works for me!

Thanks in advance!

Brad

I often add snap lines to my drawing views and snap my witness lines to them

Witness lines adjust themselves automatically when printing by the specified distance as set in config files. If it is something else, post a picture of the use case so that we understand exactly what you are looking for.
