Intersect Dimension Lines

[denncoa]

I am trying to dimension between two edges using dimension/ Intersect. I have no problem creating the dimension. The problem is that I would like to have reference lines from the surfaces that I have chosen to create the intersect. We are working with Wildfire 2.0. I swear that in the past I could do this we previous versions of Pro but I can't find a setting. Can anyone help or am I just whacked in the head.

Hello again;


I see that I am getting a lot of views but no answers, so maybe a picture will help to clarify the question. The lines shown in the view are sketched. What I want to know is; Is there a way to make wildfire automatically make those lines when I place a dimension off the intersection of edges? Thanks

you can sketch lines in the drawing and change thier linestyle and color, to say, perhaps, grey/phantom.

Sketchingis what we are trying to get away from. I thought in previous versions of Pro E that it was possible to have Pro put these lines in when this type of dimension was placed.

Try Insert-Dimension-Make Line

That might work in this situation but might not work in others. Such as when you have two curves with a fillet connecting them and you want to dimension to the theoretical intersection of the two curves, it would be awful hard to make a line to dimension to. (I think) THanks

I have never seen any option for showing the lines chosen for intersection from rev 5 to 2001. It has always been create the draft lines when necessary. This would be a nice software enhancement. After all, Pro knows the lines used to place the dim.

id say just sketch them in as final drawing groom-up...
