Model Dimension Symbols used in Drawings
Model Dimension Symbols used in Drawings
(OP)
I'm trying to use the dimension symbol from the model on my drawing in order to have it linked to the model. When I create a dimension in the drawing using show and erase and then later add a second dimension using its symbol from the model to the text line using properties the dimension shows up fine. BUT! If I create a dimension by hand using the insert dimension and then try to create a second dimension with that using the symbol from the model all I get is a text display of that dimension's symbol. So for example I create a dimension that is a hole diameter that is not part of show and erase and there is 5 holes patterned and I want to add the 5 hole parameter to that dimension I would type a dimension symbol &p145 to that hole diameter, but all I get to display is the &p145 and not the dimension value.





RE: Model Dimension Symbols used in Drawings
You cannot add two symbols on a show/created dimension.
You have now 2 solutions:
A. Keep the dimension created and add a note (as a dim related) under or near your dimension. The text note can be: &p145 PLACES (example). The note can contain multiple symbols.
B. Instead of creating a dimension, create a note.
