The 43.95 dimension extension endpoint below doesn't change correctly when moving the dimension from the right side to left side. Notice how the 19.91 dimension is correctly displayed on right side or left.
It works as expected during the creation of a new sketch. It stops working correctly after the sketch is used to make a revolved feature. I believe this issue started happening on SW2015.
Any Ideas how to fix? This adds a lot of extra work on drawings to manually change the gap.
Deepak, in the illustrations above, both dimensions were created by selection of lines NOT endpoints just like the second part of your video. Both of the dimensions behaved as expected by moving right to left. Once the revolved feature is created the diameter dimension endpoint stays to the right.
Make a revolved feature from the sketch in your video then edit the sketch and move the diameter dimension right to left and see if the extension line endpoints behave the same.
For me this issue doesn't happen during the original creation of the dimension. It happens after the sketch is closed and a revolved feature is created and then when the sketch is opened a 2nd time.
I can replicate the behavior for diameter dimension. And I see the same on 2013 also. So this is not new to 2015.
Other than getting irritated, are there any concerns you've with this behavior.
Yes I have concerns. I use diameter dimensions and this issue causes me extra work in drawings because I have to constantly be manually changing the extension line gap on dozens of dimensions and sheets.
I'm now on SW2016. There are dozens if not hundreds of these kinds of bugs that cause significant extra work. Dimensions without gaps (or the wrong gap) on drawings look sloppy and unprofessional. Why don't they fix these things?
It depends on what you're selecting to create the dimensions. Check video for explanation.
