Hi! Adding Iso dimensions in this case can be an issue. This is because the Iso view is a 2D view of an 3D object isometrically. The 3D geometry is projected to the 2D view plane. The dimensions on such projected geometry will not be meaningful. The dimension values will depend on the projection angle.

To get meaningful dimensions, you need to annotate it in 3D. Go to the assembly -> Annotate - Dimension. Then retrieve the 3D dimensions in the drawing view.

Many thanks!
