View & Dimensioning Problem

Hi

 

I have had a small problem with one of my models and drawings. I first noticed the problem in my assembly, the model wasnt square to the view cube ? I fixed this by setting a new front view. But now that i am creating a drawing of this assembly, its like none of my dimensions are going in square to my view. I have attached a picture of this.

 

Hopefully someone could help me out.

 

Many Thanks Willie

Someone unGrounded the grounded part in the assembly.

 

Unground any grounded parts.

Expand the Origin folder of the assembly.

Expand the Origin folder of the logical grounded part.

Mate-Flush the XY, XZ, and YZ planes of the logical grounded part to the assembly Origin planes.

Hi,

 

If you right click on the first placed drawing view, select General Dimension type, select Projected.

 

Hopefully, this will sort out the True "cord" dimension and show the orthographic projected dimension.
