adding dimension labels to objects

I'm coming to Fusion 360 from AutoCAD.  In AutoCAD I can make visible dimension labels for, say, the side of a rectangle.  It's not a constraint, the length can still be changed, and if done correctly the dimension will automatically update.

 

Is there any similar feature in F360?  I have a drawing that I want to share with a customer, and I want to show them that the dimensions they specified are in place.  My customer does not know CAD at all and will be using the browser viewer, they won't be able to measure the drawing themselves (if that feature even exists in the browser viewer).

 

The dimensions I'm concerned about are the height between two bodies, which do not share a common sketch, so sketch dimensions won't work.

 

Thanks for any advice.

Hi @serviceRTDVA

 

Thanks for posting! It looks like you would like to include visible dimensions on a three-dimensional body in Fusion 360.

 

Unfortunately Fusion does not currently have this capability. Your customer could, however, measure the distance themselves in the browser viewer! I have shown how this can be done in the screencast below.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions - I'm happy to help!

Thank you!  I will pass this on to my customer.  Perhaps I will check if the functionality is requested in the Ideas forum.
