Hello everyone,

I have a problem regarding detailing in proe wildfire 5. I have created few drawings in proe with few annotations, updated layer status and given dimensions. When i save the drawing & close it & then if i go for erase not displayed and agian open the same drawing, except dimensions all other things are getting saved. All the dimensions are automatically getting deleted from the drawing. This is happening with all the drawings that i have created. Everything related to drawing is getting saved properly except dimensions. I have tried many solutions for this but nothing worked...Please give me the solution for this.....

Thanks Tom,

My guess is that you do not have the part checked out, or do not have write access to it. The default is that if a dimension is created in a drawing, the dimension is actually a "driven" dimension and is stored in the part file. If you can't get write access to the part, there is a config.pro setting "create_drawing_dims_only" and if you set it to "yes", then "drafted" dimensions are created that are saved with the .drw file.

Thanks Robert,

I have checked the config.pro file, but there is no such parameter in my config.pro file...will there be any other reason for this problem????

You need to add the create_drawing_dims_only line or else it will use the default which is that created dimensions are saved with the model. You didn't mention if you have write access to the part. If you have write access to the part then all of my suggestion is moot.
