Placement of 3D annotation

Hey,

Is there any way to fix a 3D annotation to a specific offset from the model.. Please see picture below.

My problem is, when i change the length of the ø50 cylinder part the dimension gets hidden in the solid model. I want this dimension to follow the model, instead of just staying in its place.

So far i have not been able to find a solution to fix this, I am running Creo 10 btw!

Thanks,

Thanks for this.

In general I am limited on running exe files, but i see how it works, and it could might be a possibility.

But i am unsure on how this works, as the changes to my model is done with creo running in backgroud (-g:no_graphics), regenerated on the basis of a textfile and saving the model... I am not sure it is possilble to combine the run of trail file and this function.

Regarding the case with PTC support: They do unfortunately not have a solution! They said that i could submit it as a product idea and refered to a similar case: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS264008

Thanks for the replys,

Anybody then have an idea for a workaround or other good solution to this challange?

Is it possible to make a mapkey that takes the dimension and moves it xx mm in 1 direction. Remebering that i can have x numbers of dimensions i need to move, and not know the start position, so it should be on the base of the dimensions internal id that they are selceted and moved!
