Draft changes my dimension

Richard Her Jan 22, 2018 3:08 PM

For practice, I've been modeling parts from the Model Mania challenge and I have a question on the 2002 part. After figuring out how to model the part, I would dimension the part in a drawing document, just for practice. One of my dimension on the part isn't correct. After adding a Draft to get me angles, it changed my dimension from 7mm to 7.08mm. Is this something draft does regularly? Probably the second time I've used the Draft feature.

by its nature, draft will always either add material or remove it. so yes, draft will change part measurements anywhere away from the neutral plane or parting line.

  I think the problem is he intended the 7.0 to be the starting point of the draft getting bigger. Without seeing the history it's hard to comment why you got 7.08 at the starting/reference point of the rib.
