Question

Showing same dimension in multiple views on drawing.

Hello!

Is it possible to show same dimension in multiple views using the "show model anotations" command?

I'm trying to make a table with dimensions from the model and when i put the dimension in the table the dimension disappears from the drawing. When i look in the drawing tree its suppressed and I cant find a way to bring it back.

Do anyone have a solution for this?

Hello,

No, you can't show the same "driven" dimension when you use "show dimension annotations". you must add a 2D dimension if you can show the same value of dimension 2 times.

For you second issue, you can show and get dimension in the drawing tree only if you are into the Annotate Tab !!

Markus,

Yes it's true, the dimension dissapears if she is in the table. It's a standard mechanism decided by PTC.

To retreive your dimension in the view, you must delete the dimension into the table then she re-appears automatically in your drawing.

If it isn't the case, open a call...

Something strange just happend. I almost gave upp my table with dimensions and worked on with a simplified view to illustrate the holes in the modell in a better way. After that i retried to make the table, and it worked!!! The dimension did't dissapear. But at one moment i wrote wrong and when i corrected the note the dimension disappeared. The i right clicked on that cell in the table and choosed "delete content", wrote the dimension again, and it worked!

I don't know what the solution was, the simplified rep or the "delete content" command.
