HD66727: DRAFTING (INTDRAFT) / CURVILINEAR DIMENSION VALUE IS 2D PROJECT ION LENGTH AND NOT THE ACTUAL 3D CURVE LENGTH

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Drafting (IntDraft) / Curvilinear Dimension Value is
  2D Projection Length and not the actual 3D curve
  length
  .
  Scenario:
  .
  1) Open the CATPart and the CATDrawing
  2) Create a curvilinear length on the curve as
  shown in 1.jpg
  3) Compare the result between the 3D and the 2D.
  .
  Length of 2D drawing view does not match actual
  3D curve length
  .

  Creating Curvilinear Length Dimensions
  .
  MODIFICATION:
  Added following text as Inforation in:
  .
  More About Curvilinear Length Dimensions
  .
  Information : The curvilinear length dimension is
  not created in true length mode. It means that the
  curvilinear dimension measures the length of the
  projected curve, and not the length of the 3D curve.
  .
  Additional information: This modification is also
  done in R18 SP02
