    Anyone know the trick to dimensioning a hole located on a curved surface
    in a SolidWorks drawing? The machinists don't care too much for
    incomplete drawings and I can't find any info in the help files. TIA

    Can you dimension to the temp axis?

    That doesn't help with the hole diameter and depth unfortunately.

    Jon, Don't you just hate those pesky machinists.....

    Maybe a section view thru the hole that would allow you to show the
    angle of the dangle, plus a couple of reference dims to features that
    he can measure from.

    Or are you looking for a way to measure along the curve?

    Insert a tooling ball and dimension from the ball Insert a plane and use the center of the ball and an angle
