Reference lines for dimensions – Fusion 360

[John McCullaParticipant @johnmcculla]

Hi all,

I’ve been playing about in Fusion 360, trying to redo an old drawing used as teaching material on my course.

I’ve modelled the part successfully, but I can’t find a way to include a reference line running through the hole centres in the final ‘Drawing’ section. I need this to show the 22.5 degree angle.

Can anyone shed any light on this, or am I trying to use the wrong program?

I don’t have Fusion 360 so I cant help you there, but what does the horizontal centre line reference to on the part, as It doesn’t seem to be parallel with either the upper or lower straight lines of the part as drawn in your second photo?

I ask because my CAD finds an angle of 21.8 Degrees rather than the expected 22.5.

 

Martin.
