    Default Detail View?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi,
    I dimensioned a segment of a part and wanted to scaled it up to look like a detailed view but when I scaled it up the dimensions changed too.
    Is there a way that I can freeze the dimensions or even better is there a way to create detail view the way it is in SolidWorks?
    Thank you.

    What I would tend to do is double click on the dimension line to bring up the proporties menu and depending on how much you have enlarges it, (we will say x2 for this example) change the "dim linear scale" (under "primary Units" heading) to 0.5 and then use the "Match proporties" to change the surrounding dims.

    Some people overide the dims but i think this way is better because you can stretch and the dims will change automatically. But remember to stretch it x2. lol
