Adjust the size of detail view circle

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm working on a project of automating drawings. When I try to generate with bigger dimensions, I get a problem as shown in the picture below (the circle of detail view B doesn't cover all the area necessary). I guess it is because that the size of detail view circle is an absolute value and not being scaled to A-A together. Is there any way to adjust the size/scale of detail view circle? Thank you so much!

You need to constraint the sketch to the geometry. When the size changes the detail calout will also change.

as Arthur wrote first of all fence must be attached to geometry.

To set radius use:

Dim drw As DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim detview As DetailDrawingView = drw.SelectSet.Item(1)
detview.FenceRadius=10

'

you can make it dependant from parent view :

Dim drw As DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim detview As DetailDrawingView = drw.SelectSet.Item(1)
detview.FenceRadius=detview.ParentView.Height/2

Thank you for your reply!

Sorry for my ignorant question... but is "Constraint the sketch to the geometry" something different to attach? I tried this but the problem is I can choose only arcs, not the center of the rectangular section. And by this way, the size of detail view circle doesn't get scaled according to its parent view. Do I have to create a sketch in the view and set a constraint etc? Is there any tutorial / website that explains how to do that?

Attach to the wrong place. it is necessary to indicate not the center but the point of the model

I suppose the next question will be how to make the cross section do not fly off when the size changes 😉

Hi,

Right mouse button edit sketch and constraints to the part.

I was trying to guess that minsuh.kim will have the next question like this one. And you answered ahead of time 😁

Hi @robertast 

Now I see yes.

Problem I have in general is that this app is not mobile phone proof.
