This button only calculates based on the sheet size, not part geometry. Make sure you have defined a sheet first using the Select Sheets dialog. The system calculates the bounding box extents of the sheet length, width and height and displays these values in the dialog. |
If you check the box Ignore Wireframe Geometry in Part Bounds Computation, any wireframe geometry in your part will be ignored when calculating the Part Bounds. Make sure to click Copy Model Bounding Box after you check or uncheck Ignore Wireframe Geometry in Bounds Computation. |
