Showed annotation dimension in drawing disappear after activating other simplified representation

[johnnygeling_in]

Hello, 

I use 3D annotation to dimension my assembly. The dimensions are organized in annotation features and with combination views. The models of a combination view are also restricted by simplified reps. 

The 3D model dimensions are shown on the drawing. There are different views corresponding to the simplified reps. 

To avoid a cluttering view when opening the 3D model, the annotations are removed from the default all combination state. 

When I activate another combination view (also another simplified rep) the shown model annotations, like dimensions and geometrical tolerance, disappear from the view. The tree icon is greyed out and with at black square overlay. 

I can get the dimensions back when I add all the model annotation to the default view. But as mentioned this is not what I would like, because it clutters the view when opening the 3D model. 

There are some SPR's related to this:

What is the preferred way of work to keep the model dimensions on the drawing views and have a clean default combined view? 

Are there plans to solve this issue? 

Thanks

Johnny

Hi @johnnygeling_in,

Thank you for your question!

Your post appears well documented but has not yet received any response. I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.
Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant. It sometimes helps to have screenshots to better understand what you are trying to do.

Thank you for your participation!

Below is a screenshot from one of PTC's training models. As you can see there is a "model only" combo state that achieves the "clean" view. I have seen examples from other companies that have a similar name (sometimes 0_Model_Only). I would suggest thinking about just making a clean combo view rather than trying to make the default one the "clean" one.
