Enhanced Workflow for Radial Dimensions in Model-Based Definition
The workflow for creating radial dimensions is enhanced. Defining radial dimensions is faster, easier, more visual, and intuitive.
Release: Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
Typical creation of a radial dimension provides for up to four flip states that represent different witness line and arrow configurations.
In Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0 the definition of flip states is improved to provide better default states, depending on the position of the pointer. As a result, the desired solution is provided faster and with fewer clicks. Visual feedback reduces the need to perform subsequent flip operations to get to the desired state.
When creating the radial dimension, move the pointer to different locations to see an update of the default arrow state. Middle-click to place the dimension. See the examples below:
Additional Information
Tips: | You can flip to different arrow states using the methods described below: • Click Flip on the Dimension tab. • Click the dimension. Keeping the pointer on the dimension, press and hold the left mouse button and then right-click to toggle through the states. • Click Flip Arrows on the mini toolbar. |
Limitations: | None |
Does this replace existing functionality? | This replaces the workflow for creating radial dimensions in Creo Parametric 4.0 and earlier. |
Configuration options associated with this functionality: | None |
