Why cant I place a radial dimension on the IDW view?

[WILLIAMF]

Or measure the radius on the model? Maybe because of the way the part was modeled. Can someone help out?

I will need to dimension this bent tube in the near future.

Thanks

Will Include of the 3D path sketch (or the 2D sketches used to make the path) work for your needs?

Yes, I guess, and I had done that. We normally dimension inside of bend. But it'll work. The tube bender will need to do the arithmetic, or I can use a leader.

As far as dimensioning the intersection points I was able to use axis at intersection points as a snap point for my dimensions and used the 3D sketch to dimension the angles.

The only dimension I can't place is for the tangent points of the bends, but I think with some work planes axis and points I will get what I need.

Thanks again JD, and thanks for the lesson a couple of weeks ago on intersection of 2  (2D) lines to create 3D sketch....
