Detail Dimensions 2

[arid69]

I would like to use a detail view to show a detail of where a dimension arrow starts. I can dimension the the line but the other end of the dimention line goes outside of the detail view circle. Is there a way to stop the other end of the dimension line from going outside the circle view?
TIA

OK, I have worked out that I can turn off the first or second extention and dimension lines, so that works partialy for me, but does not work dimensioning between two points. Is there a way to show the dimension from the main view in the detail view?
TIA

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone trying that. why not just create the detail view at a scale that's workable and detail the area in that view.

I'm trying to detail a part thats 14000mm long. I can do detail views of the area's that I want dimensions to and from but It would be nice to be able to see the same arrow and dimension from the main view in the detail views. Otherwise I'll have to put in text with an arrow saying where the dimentions go to and from.
TIA

I'm sure I could do that in Inventor!!

Check out break lines or break view in the index section of the SW Help files.

You could use the Break function to achieve the same effect as having several details. You can then enlarge the scale of the broken view ... and you will be able to dimension across the breaks.
