Creo Drawing....Cleanup Dimension Issues for diametrical dimensions

[mbalasubramaniy]

Hi guys

I have part with a single revolve feature....where the revolve diameter is so large compared to the sectional dimension

For example lets say revolve diameter as 900 mm and section is of 40mm X 20 mm.....and revolve angle is 25 degree symmetrical.

So when i'm creating a drawing for the part i created the sectional dimensions with respect to the revolve axis itself saying 940 and 860 mm

but my issue is that i want these dimension to snap for a certain angle with reference to the edge of the model.

And i want then to automatically align with that angle if i change the revolve angle.....

Please somebody help....I'm really in trouble regarding this......

I wish a lot of features in detailing were more intuitive.

Typically, this dimension would be specified as a Z-Radius so you can show a centerline mark.

Even that has a bug in that it doesn't draw the tail correctly and draws an arc on the opposite side.

If you have active maintenance, feel free to create an idea for consideration.

edit: I reported the Z-Radius issues... below is Creo 3 ... Creo 2 also adds an extension line to the opposite side of the part.
