How to bring arc dimensions from one view to another view?

How to bring arc dimensions from one view to another view?

Hello all,

I've a problem regarding model dimensions placing in drawing. I have used revolve command placing sketch in Front datum (the sketch is to get half clylinder) and I have given radius dimension in that sketch and revoled through 180 deg by symetrically through right plane.

Now I come to drawing and placed Front, Top and Right views. Here I need dimensions in right view. When I'm placing dimensions in Right view the dimensions showing correctly but It is showing like linear, rather than radial dimensions (Mean it's showing "R" before dimension but as linear). Can anybody help me to getout of this problem.

Thanks & Regards,

Naveen Kumar Gongu.

I guess if you retirve the model dimension it would fine. isntit?

Hello Jayanta Sarkar,

I've tried with retrive dimensions from model itself. But when I'm placing Driven dimensions from drawing it will getting correctly.

can u post a screenshot of what you want?

I want Dimensions type as marked in green color, but when I'm retriving dimensions from model I'm getting like as marked in red color. I'm tried with dimension code placing in driven dimension also.

Thanks and Regards,

I do not having that problem, I have tried with one sample model, attaching for your reference. the dimensions are retrieved from model dimensions.Untitled.jpg

It would be better if you can upload your file,

Are you done this by using extrude feature?

I'm getting the problem when I used revolve feature in the model.

understand your problem, do not have solution, sorry.

Thank you 🙂

Did you try unchecking the "show as linear" in your drawing dimension

Yes Praveen Kumar.

I do tried it using revolve and getting the same as you..

We have had the same problem. When creating a radius with the revolve command the software only allows the dimension to be shown as a "linear". The only solution that we have found is what someone else already mentioned. The feature must be made as an extrude. I searched the PTC call database and could not find where anyone has ever reported this as a problem to PTC.

It's an interesting problem. The dimensions are shown as reported by Sketcher to the drawing. In Sketcher the section doesn't have a radius dimension, only a linear one that might be, but isn't necessarily, to the axis of revolution. When placing them on the drawing, linear dimensions are moved perpendicular to the sketch plane.

For example, one might be creating a tube with a wall thickness. In this case, one dimension will be to the axis of revolution, but the other isn't, though both are in a radial direction.

So one dimension would have to be converted to a radius/diameter and the other one not converted. However, the wall thickness dimension could be replaced/redefined in Sketcher to represent a radius/diameter. Now it moves from not being converted into a radius/diameter to being converted into a diameter.

It seems to me that PTC could add a special case conversion for any dimensions that reference an in-Sketcher axis of revolution without a large amount of difficulty, and those that happen to coincide with an external axis of revolution with a little more difficulty.

The bigger effort is changing the drawing software to handle axis-normal views by making the orientation of the dimension angle independent of the original sketching plane.

Thank you all of you for your time spent on my problem.

Naveen Kumar Gongu.
