AchrisK Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I am using Acad 2010. I am not new to AutoCAD, but in the last many years I have been using Pro/E to do any more mechanically intensive drawings. Now I am working on an existing mechanical drawing in AutoCAD that has geometric tolerances. What I want to do is relate/associate a Feature Control Frame to a size dimension. So I want the Feature Control Frame (or Datum flag) object to be below the size dimension, and related to it, so that they move together, and so that the Dim line does not cross through the Tolerance or Datum. The part is cylindrical. I know how to create the Feature Control Frame, but not how to relate it to a dimension. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I don't believe it is possible, you will have to move it as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Could it somehow be accomplished using constraints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The OP is on 2010, and trying constraints on dims and feature control frame in 2014 doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 And that's why they call what I just did "throwing out ideas". Guess that one needs to get tossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
