0 E|FA Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Might be a good idea to remove it from the Workspace until (?) it gets fixed. 2 Quote Link to comment

I've been told it's not broken, but that it's just not meant for 3D objects. I usually try to remember to draw the circle/curve in annotation space and measure that - it works fine with 2D. ...actually, I usually just use the callout tool and write in the correct dim! 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 If it is crashing, then it is broken. I have not seen a crash. But I have seen many cases of 3D objects not being able to be dimensioned as that is not what it was designed for. If you have a replicable crash, please submit a bug and a demo file. The last post in the Wish List forum on Radial Dimensioning is from 2017. An updated wish with SPECIFIC functionality (and preferably examples) would be good if you want to start it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Even in Top/Plan and/or Viewport Annotations? BTW, I tested with extruded shapes, and did not crash with angular or radial dimensioning in a Flyover view on the Design Layer. @hollister design Studio could there be a corrupted object you're trying to dimension?

I'm treating it as this. I just need to get it through my thick skull to NOT Radially Dim 3D objects... I'm always good for a couple months and then I grab the tool and hit a couple points on a curved wall and then just hope I saved recently. I just don't often have curves in any of my designs - so I forget. Quote Link to comment
0 E|FA Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Odd behavior for me on a curved wall, but not a crash. Points to "random" point away from the wall with R=0.0 dimension Quote Link to comment
