Drawing Dimensions

Anonymous — Mon, 15 May 2017 21:18:18 GMT

When you create a drawing from a 3D model of a body or assembly, is it possible to show the dimensions you created in your sketches when you were creating your 3D models, so that you don't have to redimension in the drawing? Is it possible to "see" your sketch dimensions in the drawing so you don't have to repeat that effort in drawing mode?

Hey @Anonymous, This isn't possible today, but this is a great idea to post to the IdeaStation.

As always, you can keep track of what the Drawings team is working on by visiting our Roadmap Mural.

Best,

Timera

Hi @Anonymous,

Unfortunately, no. Its not possible to show your sketch dimensions in drawings. We are currently working on the ability to show sketch geometry in drawings, but this will not include sketch dimensions.

Just curious, are the dimensions you use for sketching typically the same as those you'd use for manufacturing? If yes, any chance you could share a few screen shots of the sketches and finished drawing? I'm mostly curious about the positioning and arrangement of the sketch dimensions within the finished drawing.

Thanks,

Andrew
