mfranke Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Included in my picture is what happens when I try to dimension the hand rail, do I need to play with the UCS to get the dimensions right? When I use the dim, hor command the dimension shows up either behind or in front of the object. Thanks for any help, MFranke 3D HANDRAIL.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Your dimension will be placed in your XY plane. So wherever your UCS is positioned, that's where your dimension will be placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 3D Modelling and Rendering. You came to the right forum. Now if only the eminently certified professional J.D. Mather were here he'd have you up and running in no time. Have you tried changing the position of your UCS relative to the object being dimensioned?

Patrick Hughes Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Your dimension will be placed in your XY plane. So wherever your UCS is positioned, that's where your dimension will be placed. Cad64 has it right, the dimension is placed on your XY plane, But on the Z elevation of the current UCS so you need to set the UCS origin as well as it's XY Axis.

khama Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 just set the ORIGIN of the UCS to the plane and you'll be jake.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
