Modify the Dimension Scheme
The current feature dimension scheme represents the design intent of the GUIDE part.
The Mirror Entities Sketch tool built symmetry into the Extruded Base sketch. The
Mirror feature built symmetry into the Slot Cuts.
The current dimension scheme for the Slot Cut differs from the ASME 14.5M Dimension
Standard for a slot. Redefine the dimensions for the Slot Cut according to the ASME 14.5
Standard.
The ASME 14.5 Standard requires an outside dimension of a slot. The radius value is not
dimensioned. The left Slot Cut was created with the Mirror feature.
Create a centerline and dimension to complete the detailing of the Slot Cut. Sketch the
vertical dimension, 10. The default arc conditions are measured from arc center point to
arc center point. The dimension extension lines are tangent to the top arc and bottom arc.
