Re: Getting a spline instead of radius

Quote:
You are seeing the side view of a cylinder intersecting a cone, with a blend at the intersection, but instead of showing a radius Annotator is showing a spline.
I see this limitation all the time when trying to do planar views of drafted or cast parts with lots of blends between drafted surfaces. There is a toggle you can set that will force Annotation to project geometry onto the view that allows you to dimension the "true" radius, but naturally that geometry is not associative to the model so if the model changes the dimension won't update.

It's a shame since you've already defined the radius in the model that you can't just "show" that dimension on the drawing. Why re-dimension what you've already dimensioned?
