Annotation Visibility Control Using Full or Partial MBD Setting

Was informed of a Full or Partial MBD setting at the TC.

Did not receive exact instructions on the location of the setting or its full intended use.

It was explained to be a method to allow layers or combined states to control annotation display.

 

Anyone know the location of the setting or have further input on the appropriate use cases.

 

Thanks in advance.

I think you are talking about the "Supplemental Geometry" check box within the combination state tab. Leaving it unchecked leaves you at Semi-MBD and unable to add datums to your combination state annotations.

I am pretty sure that discussion was about future releases and not the current ones.

    That sounds like its on the right track.

    I believe not having the supplemental geometry (reference surfaces added to an annotation) leaves you in an partial MBD state as not have semantic connections leaves dimension ambiguous.

     

    But I dont see a check box in my veiw manager for that under any of the tabs.

    am willing to accept it as the correct answer.
