I used Pro-Engineer for 20 plus years and you could make a foreshortened dimension with any model type with ease.
I have read that Solidworks will only allow a foreshortened dimension on a Round/Shaft type model is this true and if so why?
Thank you,

Hi Jeff,
Please see the link below for clarification. This function is not limited to a"Round/Shaft type model" as you have read.
2016 SOLIDWORKS Help - Foreshortening of Linear Dimensions
You simply right click on the dimension>Display Options> Foreshorten
I hope this helps.
