Measuring in drawing views

[Anonymous]

Hoping I can get some clarification on this.

I believe I have it correct, just making sure.

When a user is in a drawing view that is a projected, section, etc type and at an angle, the user will be limited as to what information he can get from the entities.

For example: a circular hole thru the part in an angled projected view will or may not give you accurate information due to the entities shown in the view are being generated by the system and not actual "hard" entities you'd see in a straight on representation. Am I correct in that thinking?

Trying to explain that what a user sees in a view, especially angled/projected ones, are simply "cartoons" of the actual model and you're best practice is to measure the actual model instead. They feel the software knows what entities he's selecting, therefore it should be able to give correct info. Case-n-point, center point of a circle that shows as an ellipse in an angled view, should still be able to identify/measure from/to.

If the object like a Circle is actually drawn as a Circle, then yes. It doesn't matter how you're looking at the Circle object whether in a direct elevation view or skewed and a different angle, when you select the Circle to check on the Properties Palette all the geometry information is still there.

Dimensions should be set on orthogonal views. Follow the rules and you won't have to ask such questions.
