I'm trying to drag 2 diameter dimensions from a top view in a drawing to a section view.
if I hold ctrl while dragging a dimension, it should make a copy of the dimension in my section view. I've been successful with this before.
Not working.
Please help.
Is the section view cropped? Or not entirely through the part?
I have noticed that dragging dimensions doesn't like to work with cropped views and shortened views.
Try undoing the crop (if there is one), then drag the dimension, then re-do the crop.
just tried it.
no good.
I'm using SW 2016
SW 2015
Works for a dia. on top view to a side view but not on a section view.
I've got 2016.
been able to do this before with other drawings.
OK, then.
Here are a few threads to see if they have your answer:
diametric dimension for detailed drawing
No forshortened dimension option is Solidworks drawing
forshortened dimensions for linear dimns
I ended up creating a 2nd section view. I was able to copy dim's to the 2nd view. Then copy from the 2nd view to my original section view.
delete 2nd section view. hide dim and ext lines that I didn't need. Displayed properly.
3 left turns instead of 1 right turn.
