I'm sure I'm not the only one struggling with this. I have created a cut from the top plane down with draft included in the cut feature. The face cut is parallel with the top plane. I then added a radius feature using the vertical edges created by the cut profile. Why can I not import this model dimension into the drawing?! I obviously can't add a reference dimension to this because the actual geometry edge created from the radius as seen in the top view is an ellipse. So how do I dimension this??? The only thing I can think of is to add a custom property with the value that I want, create a global variable linked to the property, and then link the dimension to the global variable. I can then add a note which references the custom property to get the proper value. This seems a tad insane however. Anybody have a fix that I am overlooking?
