This was very helpful, my class is working on a timed assignment and everyone spent around 30 minutes dimensioning 5 parts while I did it in 5 minutes!

[@tommeaden8219]

I hope you appreciated the value in my like, I had to log in 2 step authentication and then a huge like for how much of a game changer this video is! THANKS!

[@mohammadrezashahparast1396]

Very good, tnx

[@cad_krenovaku]

Thank You Sir, this helpfully for my beginners.

[@AlbrechtJ]

Thanks for very helpful tutorial.

[@Filtiarin]

well this saved me a ton of time

[@cadcamstuff]

How easy is it to get dimensions on your Inventor drawing?

[@daveweldon5649]

This actually was pretty helpful!!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you!

My model has tolerances (e.g. h7 & H7) in my .ipt which I used the green traingle and yellow circle (from the "Evaluated Size") to make the model the size I wanted the tool shop to machine it to (they use a CADCAM software and just import the model and select lines). The issue was that the .dwg then updated to show the "nominal" size the model reflected in the .ipt. Is there a way to auto retrieve the dimensions used to created the .ipt and not the Model size?

[@Sparks_Industries_Aust]

G'day Lars, is there a way to automatically dimension the vertical and horizontal extents of a view of a part in the drawing?
All of my parts have a STP file accompanying them and the drawing is only used to check scale and overall dimensions after being folded.

Thank You sir, From Bangladesh

[@tinetorgersen2839]

Thank you :) It was helpful..

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Have a great day!

Even though my drawing was metric, the sheet is trying to dimension in imperial units, how do I fix this? I tried a Google search, but Inventor 2018 isn't showing Units when I go to Document Settings.

[@markdesolate]

Does this work with assemblies?

[@uniquefirearmsolutions3564]

I designed a part in fusion 360 and imported it into inventor 2017 pro to utilize this auto dimension feature. I followed your instructions and created a drawing. When I select the base view and right click on it and select retrieve dimensions, the box pulls up as it should. When I click "select dimension", no dimensions pop up. It will however allow me to manually dimension the drawing. What could be the issue here. Does the part have to be designed in inventor?

[@cadcamstuff]

Yes, the auto dimensions feature are stealing all the dimensions from your sketches. It is actually not analyzing the model

[@uniquefirearmsolutions3564]

Lars Christensen so there is no way to auto dimension from an imported part?

[@MostafaMahmoud-wz6gx]

the same problem faced me, the difference is, I did not use Fusion 360

[@visualatoz]

Thank you!!!

[@sebastian5097]

why are you not doing the fillet :(

[@nasibansari9324]

Can you print vespa 🛵 946 dimension with measurement Im from india 🇮🇳
I want measurements with cm.mm.mtr

[@rehman1995]

What inventor is this?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Rehman Thank you for watching!
What version? I think 2015

[@Chavez_Soria]

Thanks alot pal it didn't do anything

[@ibob-nh6vu]

i have been taking an engineering class for a year and have been dimensioning all the sketches manualy... i feel like my life is a lie

[@cadcamstuff]

lol, I wish this would replace inserting all dimensions manually.
Best,
Lars

[@rhehabsbaix296]

Should’ve seen my reaction when I realized I could after all of that work

[@mohammadrezashahparast1396]

Very good, tnx
