JOG on leader Dimensions (Solidworks 2007) 1

[designmr]

I am trying to add a jog on a leader of a regular dimension (non-ordinate).

I thought on the earlier versions on Solidworks you could do it. When leader run so CLOSE to together, I looked at moving the dimension to another view, but in this case I am limited.

Any help?

Thanks

You still cannot add a jog to a dimension leader, as far as I know, but you can to a note leader. You could always create a note, link the dimension value to the note and hide the dimension. You would then be able to add a jog to the note.

Hope this helps.

GTCadGuy, well I thought there was, I just got thru using Catia for a year, I think that is where I got it from.

The note way, can you have a note with leaders on both sides?

designmr,
You can have a leader on both sides, but SolidWorks seems to determine if the leader is on one side or both. You can add a second leader and drag the note around to a position where a leader is on both sides.

Hope this helps.

You can also use the "Mulitjog" leader tool to draw it manually. It will snap to notes but not dimensions.
