I've tried using the 'dimension' tool but it does not allow me to dimension any drafted round. I can't use 'Show model annotations' as the data was imported from a separate file. Any ideas how I can create a dimension for a drafted round? I've never had this problem in Creo 2.0..

Hi Jeffrey,

Please upload an image and/or the file you are trying to work with.

It will help understand the issue.

Thanks,

Hi Amit,

Here's an image showing my attempt to dimension the round (which is drafted by 1.5 degrees in the model) using the 'dimension' tool. No dimension shows up when i click the round.

Thanks

I agree with Doug. In the view you have shown, the radius isn't true and you won't be able to create a dimension.

Options:

1. create a leader note and type in the dimension (bad but it get the job done)

2. create an auxillary view that is true to the radius and you may be able to dimension it (depends on the how exactly the model geometry is done)

3. create a sketch that uses the geometry and you can add or show the dimension too (this may end up being a created driven or driving shown dimension)
