How about some dimension capabilities?

shalterman — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 17:45:46 GMT

Any chance we could get some ability to create dimensions either in the text creator or independently? I use the "snapshot" for my set up sheets and it would be great if I didn't have to go and measure and then jump into the text creator to type it out and then manipulate into position.

(This seems like a really basic ability and can't believe its not here, or maybe I just haven't found it all these years?)

Hi @shalterman

Welcome to Autodesk community.

I am not able to follow your requirement correctly.
Would it be possible for you to create a small video of the procedure you're following now?

This could help us to raise a change request to the development team.

Hi @shalterman

Thank you for posting on the Autodesk PowerMill forum!

It sounds like you are trying to create some dimensions outlining the size and length of the model and features. You can create these dimensions either using PowerShape or PowerMill modelling under the Annotation tab.

See here for more details.

Cheers,
