why is it not constrained/dimensioned ?

Drag this point.

What do you observe?

so i see you figured it out could you post a video or a better picture showing where to dimension it? thanks! 🙂

[oystein.l.l]

ok so i was missing a constrain and i needed to dimension both ends of R5.00mm tangent arcs 🙂 but what i dont understand is why would i have to constrain arcs? theres no point having dimension between them ? or ? well i dimensioned the two big 16mm slots everything seems good to me now 🙂 thanks for help!

Are you sure about that?

I thought this Pitch Circle Diameter was important for another component in your assembly???

[oystein.l.l]

somehow i dont seem to have that circle in my sketch.. wierd wait a minute how did you make that 16 diameter circle? yes i belive thats the dimensioning of the slots 16mm ones 🙂

I used the circle command to create the circle.

I used the dimension command to dimension the circle.

I toggled it to Construction linetype.

I added a Coincident constraint between one of the slots and the circle.

The slots are much bigger in this iteration than the other thread, which appeared to ignore the 16 mm circle.  It is symmetric on the 45 degree line, so has double the sketching I would do.
