Stretchable radial dimension.

[beegee]

Usetabe there was a problem with large radial dimensions.

Dimension a curved wall , for instance, to its centre mark and the long dimension line might run off the sheet, or across other sheet views.

The workaround was, ( prior to 7.0 and before the later 6.1 builds ) to place a filled region with no pattern over the unwanted piece of the dimension line. 7.0 stopped that by changing the way a no pattern fill interacted with the title block information.

The latest build of 7.0, 20050126_2030, fixed a problem for fills in drafting views which can now be placed on sheets without obscuring the title block. But that still left us unable to hide a dimension line with a fill pattern.

However, take a look at a radial dimension line in the latest build. It's stretchable ! That's right, select it and you can pull a blue dot grip to get the line and text to extend where you want it.

Factory - why do you continually hide your light under a bushel ? ( there is no mention of this in the features for this build )

Thanks very much ! it's appreciated.

If we didn't hide a few things, we wouldn't have nearly as much fun watching people find them.:wink:

Beegee,
Great Tip! Thanks

Cool, that will neaten up a few views of mine, i wonder if dimensioning to the centre point can be shortened in the same way, hmmm. time to check.

Ahh, bugger. Not so. Still a pain to dimension out the centrepoint when centre is outside of the crop region. We still need to extend the crop region and use a filled region to hide the unwanted section of the view.

It would be great if we could extend this feature for this purpose.
