Hello, I'm looking for how to take a dimension on a tube with two bevel cuts.
I wish the highest lg for the speed.
Thank you for your answers
Hello tonyguena,
For my par I select the edge with the dimension tool, it's the same for 3D and 2D.
Or also put the end filter for your case according to your screenshot.

With a construction line and perpendicular relationship then the coast:

Hello
For things that are a little twisted and especially not very straight, I add the visualization cube.
And then on the MEP I put the rating on it.
On your screenshot it seems difficult to do otherwise...
Kind regards.

That's what I do, but I wanted to know if there was a faster method than going through a construction line.
thank you in any case
yes: the dimension from your 3D via " model object" it will show you the original lengths of your part and therefore your overall length

Not for a 3D sketch centered in welded construction profile, unfortunately!

Otherwise just as simple: you select the points at the ends then right-click on the dimension and you choose " Aligned at the edge " then you select an edge along the length of the tube.

I just tried your method but I can't do it?

@tonyguena, you have to select the 2 points, validate and therefore put the non-aligned dimension on the MEP, then right click on the dimension and there you actually see the option proposed by @ronathan .

Yes but I can't get the longest dimension like you did on your sketch.
Even in this way:

I just did another test and it doesn't work, it's a part that I went to get in " Model Object " for the drawing. Does the problem come from this configuration?
Add a new dimension for the length if your dimension comes from the object of the model it doesn't start from the 2 end points and therefore it's not surprising not to have the align option.

If I have the "aligned" option but nothing happens when I validate
Surprisingly, I managed to do it on another piece. Thanks for everything.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask another question.
Can I make the holes of the tubes appear in a bar that is insulated knowing that I have not made holes, it is just the profile that is extended on the sketch line.
Piece in its entirety
Isolated part with model object, impossible to spot holes

Hello;
I join the conversation...
Why not use the "relative view" function for your isolated elements

This will allow you to re-align the views (following an edge or the selected face)
… I have a little more trouble understanding "can I see the holes, knowing that I didn't represent them... Ben... No! But why not have represented them (it's easy to do with the mechanically welded and the adjustment function)...
