How to indicate changing dimensions when updating a drawing

Hello

I want to indicate in a drawing the dimensions that change compared to a previous drawing. The aim is to facilitate the work of the subcontractor to modify the CNC's program. I know the "triangles" for revisions, but normally I associate them with revision tables. Is there another way?

Thank you

 

The Revision Cloud?

The PropertyManager Review Cloud

The new Revision Cloud annotation type allows you to create cloud-like shapes in a drawing.

To view the PropertyManager :

  • In a drawing, click Reviewtoolbar_revision_cloud.png  Cloud (Annotation toolbar) or click Insert > Annotations > Review Cloud.

Cloud Shape

Maximum arc radius

Line Style

Use Document View

  • Select to use the style and weight configured in Document Properties > Annotations > Revision Tables.
  • Disable to set the style tools_options_frameleaderstyle.gif or thickness . line_thickness.png

Applies the weld bead to the specified drawing layer.

Hello, we use the revision bubbles with the tables. Next to each modified dimension we put a balloon with a letter corresponding to the modification index. If a rating is next to an A, then it has been changed to the A index.

 

Have a nice day

Thank you for your answers!

It's settled!

It may be inconsistent, but I often see black diamonds to indicate a change. And I'm not sure, but it seems to me that it's a symbol of control.

A.Leblanc : It seems to me that the control symbol is a triangle on the tip, "not filled", but it's very similar, so maybe dangerous to use the diamond.

I have often seen "triangle / cloud revision" for index changes.

But it seems that the request is for the creation of one plan by analogy with another.

So new plan number, and beginning to a starting clue.

 

Small remark:

Put an alpha marker in a balloon, if it applies to an ASM, there is a risk of confusing it with an assembly bubble, unless you use layer management (and therefore color).

Similarly, by the way, seeing a bubble underline shocks me, because it risks confusing it with a rating.

Otherwise if it is a part, there is a risk of confusing it with certain machining information, such as the E in a circle, etc...? unless there is a management of layers (and therefore color) behind it.

Hello

To put the indices on the dimensions, I put for example the letter between prenthesis (A) after <Sun>(A) in the quote text, so that when I move the dimension, the index follows.
