Hi Guys,
I usually work on creating machined drawing from machining casting model i.e. making casting as inheritance, but when I put a general view & tried showing dimensions by view, I ended up in getting casting(Inheritance) dimensions as well.
Please help me in knowing how to exclude the dimensions of Inheritance even if I use dimension by view option.
Reason behind this is to exclude maximum unwanted dimensions by correct constraining & make the drawing associative.
Thanks in advance 
,
Best Regards,
Harish

Hi Harish...
Did you try toggling your inheritance feature into a merge feature? That seems to have hidden all the inheritance dimensions for me while leaving the geometry I needed to create the machined part. Of course this might depend on what you're doing with the inheritance feature. If you're using Varied Items you need to keep inheritance turned on. Merge doesn't allow variations.
What version of Pro/E or Creo are you using? That might help narrow down the possibilities. Here's a snapshot of the dashboard from Wildfire 5 with the Merge/Inheritance toggle switch highlighted.
Thanks!

Hi Brian,
Your suggestion worked for me, Thank you. I am not using varied items in inheritance so no problem.
As per my understanding differences between Merge & Inheritance is we can have vary the dimensions in Inheritance without varying the parent model, please share is there any other ads & disads between the same.
