Position of the coasts

Hello, I took a training course at Axemble last week and I noticed that I had some options that are very nice that jumped out...

And now, I'm trying to find some of them but I can't find the one that manages the position of the sketch dimensions... The one that makes that when you pull a rib, it is positioned differently depending on the position of the mouse... (CF Image)

Does anyone know where it is?

Thank you in advance.

If you place your rib as close as possible to the line? The coast doesn't align with it?

With a right-click before placing the dimension, you can block it (padlock), see if it suits you.

Otherwise, go to the farthest (left) and move the mouse upwards.

It doesn't seem to me that there is an option for that, it's still active.

To illustrate what @PL

See attached image of a line from the top left to the bottom right.

If you draw your odds in the projection of the line, you will have its length (in red on image).

If you get out of this projection and go to the top left, you will have its vertical projected dimension (in yellow on the image).

If you step out of this projection and go to the bottom right, you'll have its horizontal projected dimension (in blue on the image).

And when the hill is not reachable/placeable, you have to go through vertical or horizontal dimensions.

Thank you for your answers but I still have the problem... I know that normally, by moving the mouse, you can move the location of the coast, that's exactly what I'd like to find... Impossible to get your hands on it...

In addition, I also don't have all the ribs available as shown on the second image of @Benoit (see attached image)

@Joss, I think I know where it comes from! Are you in a 3D sketch? These options are not available in 3D sketches!

So to rate your X/Y and Z components, it's a bet that what you want to do doesn't work. additional lines must be drawn in line lines to retrieve the projected lengths.

Haaaaa... Now that I think about it, it's true that in training we almost didn't use 3D sketches... Ok, so much for me ^^.

Now, all that remains is to make an improvement request to be able to dimension parallel to two axes in his 3D sketches:p

All the talent of demonstrating a tool: presenting what works well! Never what could be improved! ;)

It would indeed be a great improvement, today it is tedious!

Exactly, in 3D sketching, you have to add construction lines that form a square to be able to dimension correctly.

No need to add axes in 3D sketches, just press TAB before placing your dimension and the mouse cursor changes with the letter of the corresponding axis:

Absolute

Measures the absolute distance between two points. If you press the Tab key to set the dimension along an axis, continue to press the Tab key until the pointer changes to  an absolute dimension.

Along X

Measures the distance between two points along the X-axis. Pressthe TAB key once to dimension along the X-axis.

Along Y

Measures the distance between two points along the Y-axis. Press the TAB key twice to dimension along the Y-axis.

Along Z

Measures the distance between two points along the Z axis. Press the TAB key three times to dimension along the Z axis.

Heey, cool this technique, thank you very much @Lucas =)

I've never tried the Tab for hills, it's going to make a lot of things easier for me^^

Every day you learn about it when you come to Lynkoa!! :)

Well done Lucas!

So now, I'm over-relieved!

Thanks for this tip.
