Custom Configuration Dimension refrences

I am currently trying to automate manufacturing schematics from an
editable model. my trouble lies when i try to produce a cut sheet for
the shearing guys. I want to list the overall dimensions, length and
width. however I cannot seem to refrence to a dimension that will give
me the overall dimensions even when the sheetmetal peice is folded.
Thanks

 

One method, though a bit cumbersome, is to put a reference dimension on a
sketch line in that is equation controlled to the length of the sum of all
the neutral axis lines & arcs. The dimension can then be used in notes,
etc.

Thanks for a solution. Although its a little more advanced than i am at
this point, but i will do the research for it.
P.S. if you know any good resources i would appreciate it.

If anyone else is out there i could really use some help with this
topic. Don't get me wrong Wayne your solution worked. however I need a
more concrete method. creating an equation off a sum of dimensions is
just to volatile. By the way, im running SW 2003 but if i need to i
will upgrade to '05.

Thanks
