View 1 RepliesMy company is trying to Standardize all drawings produced to 1 format. the one we are attempting to create would be in the form of: nominal upper limit^lower limit. this is easily acheived in autocad and linear, chamfer, and hole/thread dimensions in inventor. but radii's and diameters from a round surface (as apposed to linear diameters) we have run into a snag with. We cannot seem to find a way to either remove the prefix symbols or be able to insert text between the symbol and tolerance.
below is a illistration of the problem and the form of the new dimensions.
How would you add features like radius, diameter to a leader line?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen you make a diameter or radius dimension it always has this static extension line shown in red when you move the dimension far enough away. I can not seem to extend this extension line at all it is always the same length no matter what variable I change. How to lengthen this extension line?

I am trying to edit my drawing template dimension style to always do a diameter (if it is a circle). Right now it defaults to radius and I manually right click and change it. I found all sorts of styles for how it displays the radius and diameter, but didn't find where to set the default.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I dimension an arc to find the radius, the dimesnions appears as a line going from teh center of the arc to the edge of the arc with the dimension in the middle. I don't want this. I want a leader pointing to the R text and that's it.
I've attached a photo of both scenarios- one dimension is the style I don't want, and one is basically the style I want (I'd like it to be more of an elbowed leader line), but it only appears when I use AutoCAD's ISO25 dimension style.
How do I change this dimension into a diameter dimension?
I have tried editing the dimension style to display as a diameter and it doesn't change it. I tried creating a new dimension style and it doesn't change it.
I made a small plant and to create pipes i used cylinders, now I need to create a material list and for this I need to extract the radius(diameter) and height for each cylinder, but i don't know how. I am having lot's of cylinders (2000 elemets). I put also a sample here.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe default format for a radius and diameter dimension is inserted with a prefix "R" and diameter symbol ahead of the measured dimension. Our company standard pre-Inventor was to place either "RAD" or "DIA" after the measured dimension. We can not seem to find anywhere in the setup to change how these type dimensions are inserted as a default or custom setting.
Can we change/customize the radius and diameter dimension formatting?

see attached jpg. I want to know if there is a way to get rid of the "extension line" that the diameter dimension creates?
as you can see it runs over the slots on my detail and looks confusing.

I am trying to create a dimension in an .idw that goes from a line to the tangent of the outer diameter. I have tried several approaches but I cannot get it to work. Essentially I am trying to replicate a drawing which was created in Solidworks but I am having trouble with this dimension.

I am trying to create a blend radius between a Line and a Circle, the Blend command does not accept the circle as a valid object.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have been having an issue with this for a long time in hopes of it being fixed in any new release. If I click Diameter and pull it to the OD of hte circle it shows as in the picture which is what we want. If I pull it to the ID it pulls straight from that point and the dimension is not level.
The only way we can fix it is click on it, go to properties, scroll down to text, and in the text rotation box, type 90.1 and hit enter.
Is there if fix for this issue?
Im trying to draw a series of segments using script. I'm trying to build a template in Excel using my coordinates along with the radius. The segments consist of arcs and straight lines. However, the sequential order of the arcs and straight lines vary from object to object.
Is there anyway to use the ARC command and have the radius be "0"?.
I understand, in principle, this is nothing more than a straight line. However, because of the varying placement of the straight lines within the arcs, it is almost impossible for me to achieve what I'm trying to do without constantly modifying my template to meet the object needs.
Are there any options to use the arc command while applying a zero "0" radius?
I'm trying to plan an access road which must run at least 2.5m away from an existing fenceline. I've put a few parallel road lines in at 3m distance, but at the fence bends I decided to put some circles at the bend points to give me a 3m radius. When I did this I was suprised to find that the circle extends further than my access road. I've dimensioned them both up, CAD is telling me they're both 3m away but they're clearly not at the same distance.

I would like to change the default settings for a Radius dimension, Extension value from "On" to "Off".
I have no trouble changing the dimensions one at a time, but that doesn’t change the default value in the template.

So if it follows the bleed dimension, (For example.) I want my name card to be 85mm x 45mm with 3mm bleed, my inital dimension (when being created) have to be 79mm x 39mm (due to minusing off 6mm on both sides)? Am I right to say that?
