Anchor Point Issues in Cross Sections

"If these anchor points are cut off by a section, the dimension won't be visible." Reference topic: Hole annotations not showing - PTC Community

Is there a way to shift those anchor points to visible section?
I have thread hole where one annotation (MAX) is "anchored" to axis of the hole and is visible in any cross section, but the other dimension (MIN) is visible only in correctly oriented cross section, which is not cutting off the anchor points.

Is there a way how to swap the anchor points to other side of the design or is it dead end in MBD?

If you intend to show the annotations in a section, then create them when the section is active and select the references in the active section in part mode. When the section is not active in part mode, you will get a warning that such annotations are not fully regenerated but they will work fine when the section is active.

Perhaps this discussion - MBD, 3D Cross-Section View, how to make invisible Annotation visible  - would be of use in your case?
