How can I add a linear Foreshortened dimension in a detailed view?
let's say between A and B :
At present I select Smart Dimension tool and select A point in detail view and then select B face and place the dimension.
then right click the right extension line and select Hide Extension line.
then right click Dimension line and select Hide Dimension line.
I was looking for a simpler way ( if any) and possibly having the Foreshortened Diameter appearance.
thank you
Habib, What version and service pack are you on? I'm on SW 2016 SP3.0 and it seems to work fine. Someone else was having the same problem as you are just yesterday but with foreshortened diameters not working properly but he was on SP5.0 if I recall.
Regardless, the same answers apply ... It should work the way you've described. If the settings are different on your machine you may have to do it manually, but it should be as simple as right clicking the leader and selecting the "Foreshorten" option. Just note you can't select the text or the extension lines as those selections will not give you the foreshorten option.
