Today my kiddies, we begin covering the application of dimensions as described in Section 1.7 of ASME Y14.5M-1994. There is a lot of information to cover so I will break it up over 2 weeks. Like I said before ASME standards are easy to handle in small doses. So pinch your nose and hold your breath, here comes your weekly dose of ASME goodness.

Hide / Show Extension and Dimension Lines

Posted on May 29th, 2008 in Dimensions, Drawings, User Interface by The SW Geek

How many of you after switching over to SolidWorks 2008 couldn’t figure out how to hide an extension line? There was a small change to how you hide or show dimension and extension lines that seemed to be made under the radar. The first time I needed to hide an extension line I was shocked to find the way I have become accustomed to was no longer there. No worries though, the command is still available and even easier to find then before without having to dig though menus.
