Can't locate diameter or radius dimension in SW dimension toolbar 2017

Brian Burson Jan 27, 2018 5:10 PM

Hello Members,

I'm trying to dimension multiple views in a drawing and don't have the ability to dimension any diameters or radius. My toolbar doesn't show them. I haven't used SolidWorks in years but can't see why those two options would be taken off the dimension toolbar.

Thanks for the help......

Just use the smart dimension and SOLIDWORKS is intelligent to create the diameter/radius dimension for you.

  Thanks Deepak,
  
  I got out of SolidWorks, then opened it up again and the Smart Dimension tool worked this time. I appreciate the help.

Out of curiosity, what is the last version of SW you used?

  If I remember correctly, it was version 2005. Long time ago.
