When you dimension a 2D skew, you must define values for any combination of two definition parameters. Four parameters are available: Length, Angle, and two Axis Length parameters, one for each axis. After you define the two parameters, the software automatically calculates the remaining parameters and dimensions the 2D skew.

You can dimension a skewed section of pipe only if at least one 3D coordinate has been added, and the orthogonal pipe on either side of the skew is dimensioned.

Dimension a 2D Skew Using Axis Length

  1. Select a skew component.

    The Properties window displays the appropriate attribute information.

  2. Under Axis Length, type a value for each axis. For example, type 3m and 4m, respectively.

    The software calculates values for the skew Length and the skew Angle and dimensions the 2D skew.

  • Use the Axis Order to convert to the other skew angle. For example, if you set Axis Order in the previous example to South, East, the software displays the complementary angle.

  • When Axis Order is set to Box, the skew angle does not display.

  • You can also set the length of each skew component individually. For more information, see Define the length of a skew component .

Dimension a 2D Skew using Length and Angle

  1. Select a skew component.

    The Properties window displays the appropriate attribute information.

  2. Type a value in the Length field, and then press ENTER.

  3. Type a value in the Angle field, and press ENTER.

    The software calculates the two Axis Length values, and dimensions the skew.

Dimension a 2D Skew Using Angle and Axis Length

  1. Select a skew component.

    The Properties window displays the appropriate attribute information.

  2. Type a value in the Angle field, and press ENTER.

  3. Under Axis Length, type a value for one of the axes, and then press ENTER.

    The software calculates the remaining parameters (the skew Length and the remaining Axis Length), and dimensions the skew.
