    I have a tricky (to me anyway) little drawing that needs dimensions.
    It's not complicated but I'm looking for the best way to convey it's
    dim's to someone. Anybody wanna help?
    Post back to this thread and I can e-mail it.
    ACAD 2000 format.

    Thanks
    Keith

    I'll dim your drawing for you if you want. Send it to me.
    BUT in the future do as I was taught back when I used a pencil , straight edge and compass..dim where the contour shows. If
    you have a radius, dim it where the radius shows as a partial circle, if you have an angle dim it where the angle is
    referenced to some other surface. Dim everything from a known surface in such a way as to be able to get a set of
    micrometers across something known and the surface you want dim'ed. Dim holes where they show as a circle, NOT where they
    show as a cylinder.
