Hoping someone will help me through this particular phase of my ignorance.
If I...
Create an extruded plate, say 5 x 5 x 1, set up a drawing view looking at a 5 x 5 face, then dimension it (driven dims, pick edge - place dimension).
Go back and chop off part of the plate with a cut. It's now 4 x 5.
Go back to the drawing and the dimensions are still 5 x 5 with a node hanging off in space. (I think I understand what's happening; the dimension is linked to the feature edge?).
Is there a way around this behavior, such that the drawing dimension will reflect the edge length projected to the drawing view without regard for the feature(s) the length is dependant upon?
TIA,
Jeff Howard
