Insert "Model Dimensions" on multiple PARTS

warner · February 2, 2015, 9:31am

When I draw an assembly with the same part several times, I would like to be able to display the dimensions of the model on each of these PARTS.

Solidworks only imports them to me on one of the parts (even if I uncheck "delete duplicates")

I want to do this on the same view.

I can't add the dimension in 2D because the adjustments of this part will not be updated if changes...

Thank you

Hello, if you click the 2nd part and insert the dimensions of the model again, it doesn't work?

Well, no, precisely.

Since it's already inserted, he doesn't want to give them to me...

And a copy/paste doesn't work?

And for duplicate dimensions, the option in "Tools › Options › Drawing" doesn't change anything?

The only solution I found was to import the dimension into another view and then drag it into the destination view. A bit of tinkering...

So there is no other solution I think.

Ok, well I'll do it like this.

Thanks guys

One remark though, if you insert the dimensions in the 2D (not the dimensions of the model in black but in gray) they will be automatically updated if a modification is made on the part!
