I would like to be able to remove the drawing limits from the display, so we can do a JPG export of our drawings. Is there a switch that will turn the drawing limits off?

Thanks,

My question is why use a JPEG export for the drawing? Wouldn't a plot file or PDF file be better?

I want to have a graphic of my full scale model with a few dimensions. Then I want to put my own dimensions for a 1/5 scale model on the graphic in Paint Shop. This way I can give the client a scaled dimension drawing using the full scale model. Any suggestions on a better way to do this would be great. We also have COBALT from Ashlar and it allows you to apply a dimension and overwrite it your own value for the dimension. Does UG allow this?

Thanks,

Chad,

You might want to use the Retain Dimension Display option found in the Modeling Sketcher Dialog to show your sketch dimensions in a 3d view in Model Space.
You can get depth dimensions to display by using reference curves in a separate sketch to show any depth dimensions.

Then show the sketch layers and blank the curves if you don't want them displayed.
