I thought it was going to be easy to generate annotation views but I'm having a lot of trouble getting the view I want. I don't understand how the assignment of ratings to the view works. When I insert a new annotation view right-click on "Annotation" in the PropertyManager, it asks me to choose my view no worries. Then I right-click on the view to edit it and add the dimensions I want to appear, but the problem is that all the dimensions appear and once I leave the function, all the dimensions remain present! And when I want to make the view appear in the drawing, well all the selected dimensions don't appear!
I don't understand anything, am I assigning the dimensions in the right way? Is it possible to delete dimensions from a view please?
Really I'm at the end of my rope with this software...
AC Cobra 427 it's nice of your help but I can't communicate the part thank you anyway.
G. Indeed for a part I did several "machining" functions: bore 1, turned profile etc. That's precisely what bothers me because the majority, if not all, of my sketches are in the same shot. However, there are duplicates and others are there just for the sake of form and don't need to appear on the drawing. In addition, I can't manage in a new view of dimensions which ones should appear and which ones shouldn't.
If you click on your annotation folder you can select the dimensions to import or not
Notes
Follow the procedures above to import annotations into detail views and projected views.
Right-click the Annotations folder and click Show DimXpert Annotations to show or hide previously imported DimXpert dimensions and tolerances.
In drawings, you can only change the display characteristics of dimensions and tolerances created with DimXpert for parts. You cannot edit tolerance values or criteria entered in the definition of the contents of the boxes of a geometric tolerance.
In the PropertyManager Drawing View:
Scale. To maintain the same balance between the annotation and geometry displayed in part annotation views, select Use Custom Scale and choose Use Model Text Scale When Importing Drawing Views.
In a drawing, click Options , Document Properties, Dimensions:
Under Offset Distances , select Annotation View Representation to preserve the representation defined in the Annotation View. Clear this option to use the schematic representation of the drawing to place the dimensions.
If you add new DimXpert dimensions to the annotation views for which you have already created drawing views, the Annotation Update PropertyManager appears. This PropertyManager is displayed only once each time new DimXpert dimensions are added. If you are not updating the annotations at this time, you must click View , Hide/Show Annotations to view the updated annotations.
DimXpert dimensions and tolerances default to magenta. To change the default color, click Options , Colors. Under Color Combination Settings, select Annotations, DimXpert , and choose the new color.
Otherwise you add a view out of the sheet, on which you add all the dimensions of the model, and then you drag on your sheet only the dimensions you need, pressing SHIFT to "cut and *paste" them.
