Dimensioning to a Circle's Min/Max |
 |
Typically to make a smart dimension from an edge to the min/max of a circle in SolidWorks , I will smart dimension the circle. I will then right click on the dimension, go to Properties, and choose Min or Max. If you hold SHIFT as you are placing the smart dimension, and click on the near or far side of the circle, it will choose min or max (depending where you click) condition automatically. |
