I received a call today that a dimension on the drawing was displaying wrong. It should be .63" (5/8") but it keeps showing as .67" So we opened the model to confirm that the hole is really where we want it, using evaluate tab and measure it was showing .67" same as drawing. So we look at the sketch which has the dimension and it's good, set to .625. So what's going on? We're on screen share through webex so I ask the user to rotate, (the view was normal to the face that the hole was on) and there we have it. The .67 is not on the same plane as the hole, it is 3D, just like the drawing view.
What are we doing wrong? I've been looking for a setting (that I don't know the name of) in the dimension tool or the view properties... I don't know what to call what I'm looking for and not sure where to look for it. I'm not even sure I understand what I'm seeing, but what I'm perceiving is that the dimension on a drawing view (that I assumed would be 2D) seems to have a third dimension. Feel free to laugh at me, as long as someone can provide a helpful suggestion or explanation of what's going on; as it is right now I don't even know how to dimension a drawing.
