Question

Attach datum to added dim in an assembly drawing

Looking to tap the knowledge base here...

Currently at CP2, M180

I have an associate that has created an assembly with a drawing.

In this drawing, an added dimension is created on a diameter feature from one of the components.  A datum axis is also generated and shown.

The desire is to attach the datum to the dimension.

 

The catch:

While this functionality is not being allowed in CP2, as I believe it should not. (but who am I to judge?)

It has been stated it can be done in WF4 (I have not reproduced this scenerio yet, but you bet I'm gonna try)

The config.pro is the same

The .dtl is the same.

 

Assuming this is true (yeah, I know all about ASS-U-ME) anyone have some insight?

 

Ron

Hi Ron,

I just tried in Wildfire 4.0 but was not able to get it to work.  Maybe some additional information would be helpful.  Otherwise, let us know what you find after your testing.

Thanks Amit

I will give an update tomorrow - I think there has been some progress with getting pro to do what they want.  I'm heading out the door for the day.

Is this one of the reasons for the config.pro option:  create_drawing_dims_only

It can be done in Creo completely in drawing mode. You'll need to set the config option Stephen mentions, a couple of dtl options, and then create the gtol and add it in a specific way in order to get to show correctly. Without create_drawing_dims_only set added dims are created as model dims and you can't add the draft gtol to the added dim because it's not a draft dimension.
