Sketcher, clipped dimensions

[skraba]

In WF3 a functionality was introduced that enables creating clipped linear and angle dimensions on drawings (created dimensions). Now, my question is: is it possible to create angle clipped dimensions in sketcher and how? I know that diameter clipped dimensions are possible, but don't know how to do angle dimension. See example below.





Diameter dimension of 12,5mm is clipped and I also want to create clipped dimension for angle 62,5mm (so that angle would show 125).


I know I can create supporting geometry with centrelines and sketched points, but I would like to know if creation of clipped dimension is possible as is for diameters.

I guess, PTC has to create another program code for this clipped angular dimension in sketcher environment.

That is not (? or can you show me some documentation that calls it)
a 'clipped dimension'.


Mirror the line and toggle to Construction.


(I REALLY do wish Pro/E would code an angle dimension created by picking
three vertices. It would be good for Known Dimensioning the anglular
relationship between three sweep trajectories for use in Sketcher Relations.)

So what we call such type of creating diametricaldimension in the sketcher environment.

OK, it's not really clipped dimension but it's done the same way as are drawing clipped dimensions (click an drawing item, click centreline and then again drawing item).


So, there is no such functionality? We'll have to wait for WF5, WF6, or maybe WF7.

> So what we call


A clipped dimension is a linear dimension with one witness line and
one end of the dimension line terminated per clip_dim_arrow_style.
Unless there is some convention that defines it otherwise the diameter
dimension used as an example is simply a linear diameter created by
referencing the centerline?

It seems like a pretty simple programming task so I'd guess it's a
thirty five thousand enhancement request category feature. How many
you reckon they have so far?
