In Inventor 2009 when I create a Detail View of a circular part how does one then dimension the radial aspects without the origin datum attached.:?

I have attached a pdf of the drawing for clarification. The question above applies to Details A and B.

Thanks in advance for any help given.:D

You might want to ask this question in the Inventor section of the forum.

Dtkel:

I understand what you are showing me but I require that the dimensions are associative. I am not sure how, using your method, that they will be associative.:unsure:

Could you not put your dimension on a different layer and freeze it in the plan and section view?

does it not let you dimension the detailed view?

Wrong program - Inventor doesn't fool with this archaic method. That is why I suggested he post in the correct forum. AutoCAD solutions may not answer Inventor questions.

This question has been moved to the Inventor section and merged with duplicate thread.

Now that it is in the proper forum does anybody know how to dimension the detail as shown above?:?
