Model dimensions not available in drawing

[Vagulus]

I have a model (IPT file) which does not seem to send dimensions to a drawing (DWG file).

The Tolerance for the bore dimension does not show.
I cannot get a dimension for the length of a rib.

Can someone please tell me why not?
Thanks

For some reason the IPT file will not upload. I'll try on another posting.

You can download a version of the drawing here, but you will have to rename it (taking out the underscores) to get it to correspond to the drawing.

Sorry about the hassle, but I cannot get the file to upload normally.

I was able to retrieve the dimensions. Since this is a revolution, however, the dimensions will only display correctly in those views which are parallel to the revolved sketch, that is View2 and Section A-A. I created another section through the part and successfully retrieved the dimensions. See Section B-B.

Since this part has rib features, a section would typically be cut through one of the ribs to display the profile. A 1/4 section cut will not display the rib correctly.

Thanks for the info about dimensioning on parallel sections. I get that.

How about the fact that the tolerance on the bore dimension does not show correctly on the drawing? That's still a worry!

I'm not sure I am following you...

I replaced the 1/4 section cut A-A in the attached dwg with the 1/2 section cut B-B, and retrieved the dimensions. On the right side of the section you will see the underlined bore dimension of 22.220 +050/-.000. In the part, the parameters for dimension d4 show a value of 22.22mm, and the d4 dimension properties show a deviation tolerance of +.050/-.000mm. This matches the value displayed on the drawing.

Is this not what you are expecting to see?

If you are getting something different, can you post a screenshot?

Thanks Bunny

That dimension does come up on the X-section. Still a puzzle that it does not on the Front Elevation ... however!

[Bunny]

It does. However, for this view of the revolution, the retrieved dimensions come in parallel to the sketch plane, are stacked on top of each other and must be re-positioned. Also, you can only retrieve those dimensions that have not already been retrieved in another view.

The 2 attached screenshots show the dimensions immediately after retrieval and then re-positioned.

I could not open your 7-52 Step Cone Pulley.dwg file. Inventor keeps throwing up a "Could not open database" error.

Thanks.
