3d document - measure/tracker values

Patrick M · Friday

When I take a 3d document of a cabinet, intending on annotating it with sizes, panel layout and assembly directions... the measure function gets really weird.

This cabinet is NOT 21'-9 1/2". This is a 3d document straight from the model. Why does the view scale impact the value in the tracker? Seems nonsensical.

In a 3D document you will no longer measure real dimensions with the tracker or the quick measure tool. In fact, the measurements will be all "off", but they won't change if you change the scale.

I think this basically stems from the crude way the 3D doc is generated internally... (like pixel space becoming model space or something like that)
