ColinPearson Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hello All: Thanks in advance. I'm trying to hack my way through learning Inventor and I want to avoid the Auto-Dimension until I really get a feeling for the "best" and/or fastest ways to get sketches Fully Constrained on my own. This threw me for a loop today where I had my sketch, dimensions the horizontal line on the left, the constrained the left and right horiz lines to be equal THEN went to dimension the right horiz line and the length was NOT the same as what was entered for the left one. What's the deal with that? I was expecting a warning that I was trying to dimension something that already had a length via a constraint, but instead I am confused.

kpyoung333 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The issue you are having is that you have one line set to horizontal but not the other. The lines are the same length but the dimension is not correct, see the attached image. Select your .7505 dimension, make Driven (x) and set a Collinear Constraint -- between the two, this will make both in line and horizontal.
