Use the General Dimension tool to add dimensions to isometric
drawing views. By selecting the General Dimension tool then
selecting points and edges on an isometric model view, Inventor
will automatically infer an annotative plane and place a dimension
on the plane.
Some geometry selections will have multiple annotative plane
options. Press the spacebar to toggle between the inferred
annotative planes before clicking to place the dimension.
Tip: Selecting endpoints rather than model edges will leave more
plane options available.
In the figures below the dimension was placed by selecting the horizontal line (1) and arc end point (2) in
Figure 1. By pressing the Space Bar, the inferred plane was changed, shown in Figure 2 below.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Alternately, right clicking while placing the dimension will bring up the context menu with the option to select
the annotative plane from the models default work or visible work planes. See Figures 3 & 4 below.
