How do I get a dimensioned drawing of my custon Extruded Aluminum case

Post by aaron »

I have created a custom size Extruded Aluminum case, but I want to share the dimensions with others.
How do I get a dimensioned drawing of my custom case so I can share it with others working on the same project?

Hey aaron,

We don't have much in terms of creating PDF drawings in Designer. We can export it to 3d Step file that can be loaded in most other CAD software. Maybe that is an option to what you want to do.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the update. It doesn't need to be PDF, a jpg or anything with dimensions would be great.
I did do a step export and dimensioned that way, but it's just extra work. It would be nice if your software can just output something easily.
Please add this feature to the software. Thanks.

Also, is there a measure option in 3D mode? I would like to measure so of the features when in 3D mode. I assume there isn't since I can't find any option to let me do measurements in 3D mode. Is that possible?

There is no measure option in the 3D.
