How to use fortenshortened dimesnions for any model in a drawing

I used Pro-Engineer for 20 plus years and you could make a foreshortened dimension with any model type with ease.

I have read that Solidworks will only allow a foreshortened dimension on a Round/Shaft type model is this true and if so why?

Thank you,
