Is there a way to add dimensions from a merged part into the dwg of the higher level part?

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0.

Background:

I am producing a mdl/dwg for manufacturing which uses the final machining mdl as a merged part. I am doing this to create a mdl/dwg template for automation which will be driven by the final machining mdl. Majority of the dimensions from the final machining mdl are needed for the manufacturing dwg.

Question:

Outside of manually recreating these dimensions in the manufacturing mdl, does anyone know if there is a way to display the dimensions from the merged final machining mdl in the manufacturing dwg?

Thank you!

The inheritance option when using merge will enable access to the dimensions from the source model in the derivative part (mfg model).

Dimensions of an External Inheritance feature cannot be shown in the target model Creo Parametric

Solution:

Optional: Source (base) model: Create or activate a Combined State using a specific Simplified Representation, which includes Annotation Planes and specific settings
Optional: Source (base) model: > View Manager > All: Save the Combined State which is active
Source (base) model: Annotate > Show Annotations to permanently display annotations and dimensions as of choice in current state
Target model: Annotate > Show Annotations on the inheritance feature

Note: The combined state can then be used for the model's drawing
