How To Restore Hidden Dimension ?
(OP)
Hello
Im going to create some weldments structure but found small problem here. 2nd equations stands as: "D5@base" = "TXD1@Scheme2" / 2 and 3rd stands as:"D12@base" = "TXD2@Scheme2" / 2
Both of them uses TXD1 and TXD2 DimX dimensions as "driver" so D5 and D12 are driven dimensions. But even if I set "show reference dimensions" in annotations folder can not see them. When I switch to config2 in configurations then in FeatureManager tree folder Equations become red and warn that there's no TXD1 and TXD2.
How make these dimensions visible again ? (they was displayed with pink font when was applied by at start)

No, scheme2 was not a sketch. It is name added by SW to dimension after @. Look at attached example: here's mouse pointed over TXD1 dimension ...and as you see SW add @Scheme2 automatically. But look: in default configuration all seems work properly (cant only see these pink dimension) but in Config2 it warn me about missing dimension TXD1 and TXD2.
Normally when any dimension is visible its possible to double-click on them and set visibility in particular configurations. Here it's imposible because I dont know how recall displaing these two dimensions. I'm sure they exist. The proof is that they are present in default config and are both calculated in 2nd and 3rd equations.

As you see in default configuration equations works properly but how unhide TXD1 and TXD2 ??

The dimensions aren't hidden, they've been 'destroyed'.
I have no idea how they were destroyed, nor why the Default config works while the Config2 doesn't.
RE: How To Restore Hidden Dimension ?
these hidden TXD dimensions exist somewhere in and are steering D5 and D12. Mayby someone other can unhide these dimensions. It's not solution to make this part again - imagine that you got it from customer and it's much more complex = you cant build again, you must REPAIR. how ?
RE: How To Restore Hidden Dimension ?
They are not hidden. SW is showing and telling you that the dimensions have been destroyed even in the Default config. If you look at the Config2 DimXpert section, they don't even show.
You need to delete the DimXpert dimensions (per the image), and recreate them.
RE: How To Restore Hidden Dimension ?
I agree that they dont even exist in Config2 but in default config SW use them (TXD1 and TXD2) to drive D5 and D12 dimension in sketch. How SW do this if they are destroyed ?
RE: How To Restore Hidden Dimension ?
Submit the file to your VAR for their evaluation. They or SW may be able to repair the file.
RE: How To Restore Hidden Dimension ?
If you change the model so that the value of "TXD1" and "TXD2" should change, does SW re-calc "D12" and "D5"? Or is the value just being remembered as CBL states (and therefore unable to re-calc)?

yes, SW re-cals "D12" and "D5"
SW "reads" "TXD1" and "TXD2" and use them.
"D12" and "D5" are half sizo of "TXD1" and "TXD2"
