3D Animation-drive dimension/change orientation fail/move to another plane fail

hello 🙂

I have a trouble. some dimensions I can't change orientation or move to another plane.

like, I want to move Φ12 to the top view, it will tell me " you can not move the specified dimension to the selected view" What is the specified?

I can't perform this action in the Annotate function too!

 

thank you for your help

The specified view is the view that you clicked on to move the annotation to. So in your case you are moving the dimension from the top view to the bottom view. The "specified view" is the one that you picked, in this case the bottom view.

 

Were those dimensions created as diameter dimensions or were they created and then the diameter symbol was added? If they were not made as diameter dimensions then they are linear dimensions and like a cube you can't move a linear dimension from one orientation to another orientation. You need to make them diameter dimensions which involves picking one far edge, picking the centerline and then going back and picking the first far edge again and then middle clicking.

Hi Chris3

 

Yes, I make them as diameter dimension

In my case, I am curious that  I can't move the diameter and angle dimensions, but I can move the length dimention.

do you know why?

I feel vaguely like I have run into this problem before but I do not remember what I did to resolve it. Did you make a test part and see if its reproducible? If not then I would try the process of elimination. Is it one particular feature that has this problem and if so what is different about that feature than a feature that it works for?
