Find a dimension by searching

[lococnc]

I have come across a drawing where a dimension value is being shown in a table cell, the name is &WALK_WAY_HT:3
How do I find this?
Have tried doing model info on the top level assembly but it is not there.
Any clues?
If I right-click on the text in the table itself it appears to be a dimension that has been renamed but it does not show me where it is coming from. How do I get this info?

If you go into the table cell and delete the dimension name, (clear the cell) the dimension should show back up on the drawing. Usually the dimension is created and when you use the dimension name in a table or note, the actual dimension will disappear off of the drawing. Atleast that's the case when I've put dimension values in a table.

Hope this helps!

I sent the message to you personaly by accident. The demension your looking for is more than likely in the part not the assembly.

If you're in WF2 or later, you can use the binoculars (aka, the search
function). It will tell you what part it's used in.
