May 15, 2008 #2 Theophilus Mechanical Dec 4, 2002 3,407 0 0 US Draw it at some other degree, dimension it, and then edit the dimension to 180. Otherwise, set your relations to collinear or coincident. Jeff Mowry http://www.industrialdesignhaus.comWhat did you dream?

If you really need to have an entity separated by 180deg from something, I would create an intermediate line/plane halfway there. That way you have two 90deg dims. Upvote 0 Downvote

Is this a relationship between two features or within a common sketch? Matt Lorono CAD Engineer/ECN Analyst Silicon Valley, CA Lorono's SolidWorks Resources Co-moderator of Solidworks Yahoo!
