![]() ![]() A diameter symbol is included in the placement. Move the cursor and click to place the dimension.Measure the diameter of a circle or arc, including silhouette edges. If the circle is obscured, as is the case in the bottom circle in this example, a guide line is overlaid on top, as you add the dimension, ensuring the visibility of the circle. Radial dimensions are then added to both circles. The four sketches are lofted, and then a top view is placed in a Drawing. ![]() For instance, the top and bottom circles below have two ellipses between them. You can also add a Radial dimension to circles that are on either side of other geometry. ![]() A jogged line appears, drag to the desired location and click to set the endpoint.To undo the foreshortened line, select the line, right-click and select Remove foreshorten. In this case, select the dimension, right-click and select Foreshorten. You have the ability to foreshorten a dimension line on an arc when the center point is at an inconvenient distance from the arc on the drawing. Measure the radial dimension of a circle or arc. Only one of the intersecting lines may be broken. Right-click on the dimension and select Break dimension or Unbreak dimension from the context menu. You can change the way intersecting dimension lines are displayed: as broken where they intersect or as unbroken where they intersect: When an edge is selected, click again (even while dimensioning) to deselect it and select a different edge. There is no need for a grip point on the text. You can drag the dimension text simply by clicking and dragging. For example, in the illustrations below, the right grip point of the dimension is dragged from the point to the edge: Associations are maintained on other grip points. Click and drag any grip point to another edge, point, arc, circle, or circle center. You can edit grip points of an existing dimension, if necessary. Once a dimension is created, hover over it to see which entities are involved in the dimension. Hover over dimension lines to highlight the snap points, then click and drag the snap points on the jogged extension line to position them to your preference:Įditing the value of a dimension causes it to be converted to an Overridden dimension. To add a jog to an extension line, right-click on the extension line to open the context menu, then click Add jog:īy default, the jog will appear at the midpoint of the extension line. To clarify dimensions that are very close to each other, you can use jogged dimension extension lines. These are inferencing lines that you can align the dimension to simply click when you see the line appear to align the dimension to that line. While moving the mouse to place the dimension, you'll notice thin, dashed lines as the cursor passes near other entities. There is no need to click directly on the point once it is visible. Once the snap point is visible, the point has been snapped to and you can click. Use keyboard shortcut Shift-q to quickly toggle on midpoints and quad points for the current command. However, after a dimension has been placed, editing the dimension provides access to these midpoints and quad points. This simple change makes it easier to transition to Onshape and can make a big difference if you find yourself going between Onshape and other CAD applications.Midpoints and quad points are disabled during dimensioning for ease of selecting appropriate dimension points. Simply choose your application from the list and click “Save view manipulation settings.”Īnd that’s it. Here you will find options for “View manipulation.” You can set rotate, pan, and zoom settings to match SOLIDWORKS, NX 10, Creo, and AutoCAD. Select “Preferences,” from the list on the left. ![]() To change these settings, select “Manage account” under your user name in the top right corner. To solve this problem, Onshape now gives you the ability to change the rotate, pan, and zoom settings to match other common CAD applications. And if you find yourself going back and forth between Onshape and another CAD system, it can be even more frustrating trying to remember to change how you rotate, pan, and zoom depending on which window you have open. If you’ve come from another CAD system, we know it’s frustrating to have to relearn simple things like how to rotate, pan, and zoom. ![]()
