Linear dimension showing as foreshortened in detail of section view

In the attached .slddrw, there is no reason for the .882” dimension to be shown as foreshortened in Detail B. What is causing this?

Thanks.

Because math is hard and programmers are lazy.

Just one more reason why you should NEVER rotate your drawing views. Too many bizarre things like this happen. Nine times out of ten when someone comes to me with a weird drawing issue, I spend a bunch of time troubleshooting, and then β€œwait a minute, is this drawing view rotated?”

Maybe the dimension is too close to the view boundary. Make circle bigger and see if it helps.

Anyway it should not include dimension. Should force user to re-dimension.

Several years ago I had a rotated view that the ordinate dimensions were backwards.

Rotated view ? Why not just update the standard views in the model?
I have been having to do that because routing assemblies seem to come in all kinds of strange orientations.
Thanks for the reason why it was was goofy.

I prefer to create named views.

Truth be told, I use rotated views all of the time, but I am aware they are problematic, and avoid them for anything complicated.
