Edit position of sketch dimension callouts, arrows, & lines?

Anonymous — Mon, 06 Jun 2016 06:01:52 GMT

Sometimes I want to reposition sketch dimension callouts (the actual measurement text), and the deimsniosn lines and arrows, or the distance the diemenion is from the dimensioned feature. Is this possible? It seems not.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous

If I'm understanding you correctly...

Just click the dimension or callout you want to reposition. You will see a small grey square appear (in the center of the dimension, or at the far left side of text on callouts).

Clicking on this grey square begins moving the dimension, clicking again places it anew.

Here's some pics of the grey squares:

Hope this helps!

Perhaps you are thinking of drawing dimensions? which are not the same as sketch dimension in f360? I'm not sure as I havent yet got to drawing dimensions, still working on learning sketch dimensions. My limited understanding is these are two very different types of dimensions.

Hey, I figured it out, super easy. Just click once on the callout or line or arrow and drag and it moves to a new position. I was expecting to be more complicated. D'oh.

Those are from Fusion 360, from the Drawing page, haha. Sorry, my fault. For some reason I thought you meant drawings...

To move sketch dimensions and callouts, just click and drag them. Much easier. Sorry for my confusion.

Heres a screencast:

Whoops! Didn't see your reply before I replied.

Glad to see you got it sorted!
