Hello Aspire experts!
Is there some way for me to take an existing dimension, and then grab the tip of one of the dimension arrows, and dynamically pull it, to get an exact dimension?
For example, I dimensioned something, and found that somehow what I thought was 3.5", was really 3.55". With old cad software I cut my teeth on, I could grab the tip of the dimension arrow, and move it until the dimension was 3.5", and then I would move the geometry to match the dimension.
Maybe that is kind of dumb, but somehow it seems natural and useful to me. Can I do this with Aspire???
Thanks, Chuck

No, dimensions in Aspire are not dynamic. You have to use the editing tools to change the size of things. I use the "Set the selected object size" tool for this.

Thanks Steve for the quick reply! I had hoped I was just over-looking the way to do this. Oh well.... ....... Chuck
