![]() ![]() btw, I've seen too many 45min Youtube videos which could be summarised with a good diagram to be a fan. Dimensioning, moving and mirroring seem archaic by comparison but I agree they do work and allow for calculated dimension line spacing. My experience is with labelling in mapping packages rather than dimensioning in drafting package. The diameter is more useful than the radius on the Side view.Ī reference to dimensioning rules would be useful. Maybe someone else can jump in with an idea how to better dimension two small entities with the same central point (ie Side view hole and outer curve diameter and Front view inside and outside radius. Similar for the 44mm height in the Side view. How would you label the layout lines in the revised attached drawing? I also understand it is bad practice to dimension off hidden lines but that is exactly what those layout lines are as they extend off the tangent to the circle to a square edge. Is the axis in the holes really drawn as a vertical and horizontal line trimmed with some arbitrarily sized circle?Ĭalculating the layout lines was the whole reason for drafting it. I'm not clear how to adjust the dimension lines at the bottom of the Front bracket or extend the one to the Top hole. I mirrored it then followed your advice with the dimensions. * The external measurements in the side view are required for layout I appreciate the help and the result is much more like I was after. * any comments on line type and how to draw for centre of circle in example above welcomeīracket-mirrored.pdf Thank you for your reply. * show internal and external radius on Front * show half circle dimension for top of Side which goes through same centre as hole ![]() * show 12.5mm circle diameter dimensions outside circles (like user manual example) * how to adjust the spacing between existing parallel dimension lines from 10mm to say 7mm without deleting them and starting again (move is tedious) * best way to evenly space parallel dimension lines (I snap to grid) I'd like to tidy the drawing up and squeeze it vertically to fit nicely on an A4 sheet from my printer. (input line-segments in yellow, diagram in shades of blue) Next I need to extend this code for polygons, and write a class that traverses the diagram and generates offset. The external measurements in the side elevation are required for layout. LibreCAD Blog about LibreCAD, an Open Source 2D CAD program. It was drawn with the origin at the bottom right of the side elevation to work from the nice right-angle then mirrored to the best of LibreCAD's ability. How To Extend Line With Lengthen or Trim Commands, Librecad Tutorial Librecad Tutorial 1.07K subscribers Subscribe 2.2K views 1 year ago Tutorial LibreCAD - English Extend Line Using. This project is a bracket made out of 4mm steel to be cut out with hand tools. I'm trying to improve my dimensioning skills and the User Guide for Dimensioning is a big help but I still can't get the finish I'm after. ![]()
