Jose Villarreal Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hello. I have VW Fundamentals 2016 version and the Constrained dimension tool does not want to work in 3D. I am sure that it is something simple. Quote Link to comment
0 RickR Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Several things can get newbies lost. Is the Dimensions class turned on? Are you working in "Screen Aligned" mode or "Layer Plane" mode. Do you know the difference? Are you getting actual 3D dimensions while looking for X,Y,Z distances? (see above) Are your snaps set for what you need? 1 Quote Link to comment

(see above) Are your snaps set for what you need? I figured it out. I have to switch to Layer mode. I would like to know how to make the dimension class automatically go into layer mode.

0 RickR Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Insert mode is not related to classes, layers or object types, except that 3D objects can not be in screen mode. Dimensions can be done in Screen Plane, they just show something different. It's much more related to view types, but doesn't save in "saved views" either. You just have to watch what you are doing with 2D objects in 3D space. That's part of the joy of the hybrid method. Quote Link to comment
