EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TOFROM CONVERSATION
QUESTION / CONTEXTHOW DO I DIMENSION THIS
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- *Dimension it centerline-to-edge as a radius location, or edge-to-edge if that flat is what matters functionally.
- Use Smart Dimension from the centerline of the hole to the right outside arc, then make it a radius/center distance as needed.
- the vertical tangent point / virtual sharp where the straight wall starts on the left
- to the vertical tangent point / virtual sharp on the right
- Start Smart Dimension
- Click the left arc/edge
- Click the right arc/edge
- Move the cursor below the view so it becomes a horizontal dimension
