Elbow Rotation on ISO

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 13:56:00 GMT

I don't know what I don't have checked in my project setup, but my ISO drawings are not dimensioning the 90deg elbows when rolled on a 45deg.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've gone through the setup and ticked some other settings, but nothing seems to work. Even using the ANSI-B Spool doesn't produce the correct results.

Thanks for the help Dan. I was more looking for the angle that the elbow is rotated. I know it's on a 45, but I was hoping the ISO would call it out..

Do you mean, skew dimensions and/or hatching?

@dgorsman, correct. Is this not allowed on spool ISOs?

I believe I am up to date with all service packs and updates. Wonder why this won't work on my end...

Hi @Anonymous,

Is the problem only in spool isos?

Regarding the update, you can check to see if it is installed by using the ABOUT command:

Thanks,

Yes, only the ISO drawings.

My App Manager just informed me this morning about the update. I've updated, but now I've lost my customized workspace. I will try to run the ISOs this morning to see if anything has changed.

@Anonymous, did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issues. I need elbow rotations/roll to appear on the ISOs, but can't figure out how. Thank you.
