Aligning Leaders Horizontally and Vertically to Feature Control Frame

JanekPop — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 16:22:20 GMT

Looking for an Inventor dimensioning wizard. 😀

Does anybody know if it is possible to align my multileader horizontally and vertically to provide the attached Geometrical Tolerance? You can place the first leader fine, but if adding leaders you have to place them by eyeballing.

Little hope, but thanks,

I haven't found a good way to do it.

You can draw sketches, but it's a real hassle.

I even thought it would be handy to use a sketch as a guide for the leaders, but the snap functionality doesn't actually do anything even though it previews a point. Like below.

Thanks for the reply Andrew, I've tried all ways. If only leaders would at least snap to a grid.

For 20 years we have been doing this on the drawing board and then autocad detailing reinforcing and steel.... but not in inventor?

Why cant we have a leader like this.
