2D Constraints (Horizontal/Vertical) problem

Anonymous — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 05:51:27 GMT

Hello.

I have some problem in one file.

I cant make one line is a horizontal.

And i cant make diametr dimension for ring.

What am I doing wrong

hi, for the diameter dimension issue, not sure whether picking the circle center and the center line work for you? like the below picture. step 1, pick the circle center, step 2, pick the center line, step 3, click the right button of the mouse to choose the diameter dimension...

For the horizontal constraint issue, it might be not existed on the latest version Fusion.

It's not clear what you want regarding the dimensions for a ring. If you want the two circled dimensions to show the diameter after the geometry has been revolved, then you'll need to create the geometry on the opposite side using the mirror command. After mirroring the circles, delete the current dimensions and add new dimensions between the mirrored circles and the original circles. If that is not what you want, you'll need to provide more information.

The line that needs to be horizontal just needs the Horizontal/Vertical constraint applied. You should add dimensions and/or constraints to ensure the position is correct after it's horizontal.

Here's what it could look like with dimensions between mirrored sketch items:

My testing,

That short line has something weird happening, if I get the horizontal to take,

it becomes coincident to the origin as well. Was it a trimmed line in a former life?

Add other constraints and dimensions make the over constrained warnings appear, while blue lines exist in that profile.

For the Diametrical Diameter, select centre line first, then destination, right click menu before placing the position, select Diametrical Dimension, then place the dimension.

To dimension the tangent of the circle, Diametrical is not available.

Might help....

Turn on your sound.

The video below is a compilation of previous responses.

WOW

Thanks.

I solved my problem with horizontal constraints.

But I can't do a diameter dimension.

I cant select this point like you.

I need use "Arc Tangent" and after this comand a cant use diametr dimension.

Did you realise what the Whisperer did to invoke the Diameter option for the circle, in his video, he added the short construction line to the circle,

Now you are able to have the menu option, by dimension to the tangent/end point, not the curve.

Clever - not so obvious, thanks JD.

I cant select this point without additional construction line?

Correct, no line, no diameter option.
