Hello
I can't put a dimension in a drawing when the radius or diameter is stripped (injected plastic part). The same goes for the Centering Axes that I can't bring up.
Does anyone have a solution please?
Thank you
Hello
Could you put a screen print for us to see?
Here is the image requested,
Whatever edge I select on the 3 as there is a draft I can't put a dimension.
Thank you

Can you make us a screen of your sketch of the removal of material. Maybe that's where it comes from.
Try by checking the quick quote box, normally if you select the edge outside your semicircle it should give you the radius.

In fact, every time I create a draft and then I put a ray when I go over the drawing, it's impossible for me to dimension or even make an axis appear on the plan.
Obviously I try to select the right edge for my rating but even taking the others it doesn't work.
I also tried by checking the quick quotation box and it doesn't change anything.
In fact, does anyone have this problem when they create a draft and then a ray?
Thank you
Hello
The problem is that it's not in the plan because of the draft, to make the dimension appear make a view following the edge in top view of your screenshot, and there the dimension should come .
That's what I understand from your screenshot...

I hope it's not the "only" solution...
I can't have fun making views oriented according to the angle of the draft, the plan will be illegible.
I still find it strange not to be able to dimension shelves after a draft, those who are used to drawing injected plastic parts must have a solution.
With Catia or Pro-engineer at the time I had no problem

Hello
Which version are you on and can you put your MEP and file in a zip so we can see?
stupid question it is
How is the remains (es) created?
@+
The body is created "normally" I would say... I don't have much choice anyway when it comes to creating remains.
The problem, it seems to me, comes from the fact that I put the shelf after the draft.
Unfortunately, this is the best way to do electrode machining (among other things) for EDM.
But really I encounter this problem every time I create a piece and then I put drafts with rays.
normally what does that mean?
Hello
Working in the cutting tools I encounter this bug 3 to 4 times for stripped rays.
I never really found the solution, but as soon as you strip an arc, a ray on the drawing, it becomes a spline and impossible to dimension it.
Personally I often just put an annotation and note Radius (obviously if you make a change it doesn't change)
Or there is the solution of making a profile style configuration or my part no longer has any draft to be able to dimension the profile.
There is also another solution is to select the sketch where you drew your radius and convert the radius you want to dimension.
Hoping my tips have helped you
Kind regards

On this type of part it is preferable to draw the radius before the removal of the stripped material.
Thus the listing is possible afterwards.
