Need some GDT annotation help.

Need some GDT annotation help.

Need some GDT annotation help.

(OP)
I have searched and have not come across what I am looking for.

Here is what I am trying to do. In a part, I want to add a GDT frame and attach it to a dimension. I know that we can do it on drawings by dropping it on the dimension. Is that functionality not avialable for parts?

Regards,
Dan Olid

RE: Need some GDT annotation help.

You have that function only on drawings, not models (part/assy).

Thanks for the response guys. I knew I would get an answer here. Not the answer I wanted of course, but an answer nevertheless. SW2006 is a long time away for us. We are still on SW2004 and hopefully moving up to SW2005 by the end of the month.
Thanks again.

RE: Need some GDT annotation help.

I hope this is a 2006 functionality upgrade because this can be done in Pro/e 2001....

RE: Need some GDT annotation help.

It is definitely a 2006 function. I tried it on my pre-release version and it works fine.
