In the model tree portion of the drawing interface try selecting the feature for which you want to show the erased dimensions and RMB>Unerase (might be Show Erased).

I tried that, i don't get those options, info & hide in model are all i see, i've tried selecting the different tabs, nothing. It is all very frustrating.

Did you have the annotation tab selected? Did you try moving the mouse pointer into the drawing area before selecting the RMB? I know there is a nuance to getting it to work I just don't have access to WF5 right now to determine how It's done.

i'm trying that now, still don't get those options. It will have to wait while tomorrow now.

Thanks

The other thing to try is look at the drawing view section. Any drawing views may have an expandable node and if you select it it should show dimensions that were erased. If there are items there try selecting them and then RMB. I'm thinking the directions I gave before were for deleted dimensions. Unforunately it's something else to get confused over. Otherwise I'll try later once I have access to WF5.

ok, i figured it out, you have to unerase any previously erased dimensions by selecting them from the drawing tree, you simply pick annotations in a given view, & there you see the dimensions associated with that view, erased or otherwise. If a dimension is erased it is greyed out, select it & RMB unerase. I think this is what you described yesterday, but i was using the model tree & not the drawing tree.

Thank you for your help Kevin, it is appreciated.
