Urgent! Letters insted of dimension - IDW


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have created a 2D-drawing in idw. Instead of actual dimension I want tocreate the lines, and wright a letter. For example, an H for height or W for width.

Is this possible? I`m allowed to add text to dimension generated byinventor, or override actual dimension. But I want to wright only letters :)

There should be a LEADER command in Inventor also I assume? That is only a line, an arrow and text - is that what you are after?

No, I want to use the dimension-lines created by inventor (lines and arrows) and Instead of actual dimension it should stand a letter. The reason for this is is that I have created a part which has several different types, and In sted of make a view for each model, I will create a table where I refer to Hight (H) and Width(W) on the drawing.

I found it! When you have created the dimension, go to edit dimension and text. You can then choose "hide dimension value" and create your own text :)

Then I don't see any other way than to override the dimension and add your text that way after you have placed the dimension.

 

Glad you solved it :)
