Hello all,

Sometimes when i start a job, I draft based on given drawing then go to do dimensions, some values are not exactly correct, could be 0.001 off from given drawing. I always placed dimension values to 4 decimal (i.e 0.1234).

I try to draw the same part in Fusion or Inventor, it gives me exact value.

Attached are sample files, dimensions colored yellow are not correct.

Hello all,

i recently switch to mc2018 hle. Previously in mc2017 I could use Smart Dimension to dimension angle but in mc2018 it just shows as linear distances .

Hi blu3eyes,

Are you asking if you were to create 1 half of something (e.g., the left half of a smiley face) and then mirror it, then later go back and change the left half (e.g., change the eye from a circle to an oval), have the right half update as well? If so, I don't believe this functionality exists.

That's what i meant.

If you want that sort of function mirroring the tool path would be your route.

Please elaborate.

I mostly program lathe, what i usually do is draw half (top half), mirror, then create another level with all entities copied and proceed to dimensions everything.

Say, the next time, there is a revision changed, i go back to (top half) edit a few thing, and bottom half is updated.

Hi guys,

I'm fairly new to MC, mostly use for lathe, I often draw and dimension everything before proceed to toolpaths, just to make sure i got all dimensions correctly. But sometime it could get so cluster. What i'm asking is there away to toggle on/off dimensions. They're still there, you can choose to see them when you want.

Thanks guy.

Hi guys,

Is there a way for mirrored geometry to auto update/regen after you go back and redraw/change some geometry?
