Dimensioning in detail view

Update, I am looking for the information.
I try your recommendation
Thanks

@Maclane ==>quick quotation unhooked, tjs the same problem

@OBI_WAN ==>type of dimensions on projected, tjs the same problem

Thank you all,
Good evening
Regards
Fred

… If we zoom in on the attachment lines of the vertical dimensions, we see that they are not hung in the same place... (Or not hung at all perhaps?).

Would it be possible to provide us with this part and its drawing (specifying the Solidworks version)?

That's why I prefer to use 3D dimensions as much as possible. This avoids putting the wrong hooks in the wrong place and ending up with this kind of aberrations.

Otherwise, it looks a lot like a dimension placed on a point (and not a line). The point having surely moved in height, the dimension is oblique and not horizontal, hence this difference of 0.05mm

Totally agree @coin37coin

I even wonder if the problem of @Frederic_Ouvrard is simply not wobbly or forced odds? (The oblique dimension should not have the same value as the vertical dimension...)

Here is the room and the plan
Thank you for your help

I don't have forced or wobbly ribs.
Indeed I can see by zooming in on my drawing view that the hook is offset from the selected line

Hello

For oblique dimensions, it only concerns 3D/iso views and not 2D.
After that, in theory, we are supposed to define the dimensions used in the MEP directly in the 3D modeling, but not sure that many people will do it. (and valid only for one part and not assembly)

I just did a new detail view on my drawing.
(Still the same room, but the other end of my room)
There are no problems with quotation in the detail view.!!.
Have a good day everyone

Version 2024 sp 0.1 ... SP0.1 !! It's already shooting yourself in the foot! Or play Russian roulette with a full barrel!
we should start by installing a more reliable version of Solidworks (although below SP4, I don't consider the versions to be Reliable...)

That said, you should be able to convert your files to an earlier version (Solidworks 2022 if you want me to inspect your Layout)...

And if you redo a detail view from scratch of the area of your component that is causing problems, are the errors still present?

I didn't have the choice of the version. And I don't have the skills to do it and judge which version is the most appropriate.
It seems to me that a salesman came to define the need for our company and the choice was made with the management and surely on the side of the wallet too.

To come back to my little problem
I cleared my detail view and created a new one.
There are no worries.
No dimensions that are displayed obliquely or with incorrect values.

Thank you all for your help and sorry if I don't express correctly, in my messages, the hazard(s) I encounter.
Happy holidays
Fred

@Maclane

Yes I deleted and redid 2 detail views.
one in the same area of the drawing and one in another location.
No problems with scoring.
There you go
I wouldn't say that the problem is solved.
But we can close the subject I think
Thanks

To close the subject, you have to choose an answer as the " best answer ":

Unless I'm mistaken, SPs are not dependent on a commercial offer.
The 2022 / 2023 /2024 versions are more or less recent offers of the same software (such as Windows 95/98/2000/XP etc)
SPs are revisions of your version and must be included in the price. You should have the option to upgrade to the most recent version with the inherent bug fixes.

As said in many topics on the fofo, you should avoid SP0 to SP3, so SP4 or 5 at the minimum.
Many run with N-1 Versions, that is to say that for the year 2024 we use the SW 2023, to leave time for the software to be stable (yes, yes I know we can dream)

At any chance it won't be a holiday and the coast will hang on a tangent ridge?
If so:
Right-click on the view
Remove tangent edge
Redo the dimension or reattach on the right edge

Hello

I don't think so, for my part, after struggling with the detail views, I noticed that by default my models were set to " true " dimensions instead of " projected ".
On the other hand, by changing the parameter it is not taken into account in the views so the solution as @Frederic_Ouvrard did it is the right one: delete the view and regenerate it (thank you SW for this coding with the feet for the time being).

Here the dimension takes two edges that are in the same plane? If not, yes, actually true or projected will not give the same rating.
That said, I'll check the tangent edges, you never know, it's not really useful (or for purists)

No, since the hook is made on the end of the chamfer. In " true " dimensions, by hooking two cylinders that are on two staggered planes, it gives the diagonal dimension (oriented according to the slope generated by the level shift) instead of the " flat " dimension. This is only the case with automatic dimensions, if you switch to horizontal or vertical dimensions it displays the right value.
