Dimensioning Isometric View (text Orientation)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Im working on a belt tightener and for the base there are alot of points you cant snap to, so that i can dimension it because it is blocked by other sides of the part. Is there any way that i can find points to dimension from and still have all the dimensions on the same dimesion plane?

Hi,

You can create a visible work plane in the part and then use that work plane as an annotation plane for isometric dimensions. While placing a dimension use a context menu command 'Annotation Plane' -> 'Show All Part Work Planes'. Now you can select the work plane and isometric dimension will be placed on it.

Hope this helps,
