Identify missing reference for local section - Creo 10

Hi Community, 

Creo 10 drawing interface - Is there a way to identify a missing reference for local section in drawing view properties.

Not really, not that I know of.

So if you click on the ones that are NOT missing and you watch the drawing view, the "non-missing" ones will highlight. So you will be able to rule out those in a few clicks, then you can try to re-select the missing one and it will only let you pick within the  spline sketch of the one that is correct.

It's like a little puzzle you have to put together, keeps you on your toes!

Thank you StephenW. 

Yes this is an option but on a very large drawing / view with a lot of detail it seems difficult to watch the highlighted items.

I agree completely...it's horrible. I also do a lot of welded structures and i hate when I open up the drawing after making significant changes. It can take a significant amount of time to find reference issues.

Hi,

to prevent problems with missing references, user can add datum points into models and use them as references instead model edges. This is just a suggestion...

Thanks for your input Martin. Something to try I'm sure.
