sketch changes after rotation

[Anonymous]

Hello Community,

I have a sketch to create some elongated holes. The holes have to be an angle. First i created the sketch for these holes and then i rotated everything around one specific point. Everything went ok accept one dimensioning (see photos).

Can you help me? How can I fix this problem? How can i rotate the dimensioning 34,75mm?

Greetings

draw two vertical lines from the centerpoints, make them construction lines.

if there is a vertical constraint, delete them, and make both parallel to the main vertical line.

no create a dimension between these two lines by selecting them. (do not use the endpoints while selecting them)

do you have a diameter of -16mm in the second picture..????

Hi Mirko,

I guess this happens when you rotate the sketch geometry but the sketch coordinate system stay where it was. As a result, the dimensions are interpreted differently. To fix this, you can realign the sketch coordinate system by right-click on the sketch -> Edit Coordinate System -> pick the new references for X and Y. The other way to do that is to create a UCS before the sketch. Then redefine the sketch to the UCS XY plane. Then you can rotate the UCS and the sketch geometry and the sketch coordinate will rotate along with the UCS.

Many thanks!

For me, your solution worked. Thanks!

It is not -16. The line to the number just appears next to the 16 after zooming in...
