Dimension Point at Beam CL

Is there a way to get the dimension style to dimension to the centre of a beam flange and not the toes of the flange in a top or bottom view?

Hi John,

It is possible.

1. Make representation for bottom view to include system line (Visible Hidden System)

2. Per screenshot below, I had separated these dimensions into top and bottom, if holes are in the left half of the beam, dimensions to appear to the left etc.

 

Dimensions will be Holes Linear top V front....

And the second line would be Ref. MP System, All along MP Y. Left end would be TOP of MP, right end would be BOTTOM of MP.

Mine 1.25" dim's did not combine, I moved one of them to be aligned with the other.

HTH.

If it is made of steel, I can model it and detail it.
