Dimensioning & text from Drawing to CatPart for FTA

Dimensioning & text from Drawing to CatPart for FTA

Dimensioning & text from Drawing to CatPart for FTA

(OP)
Hello guys,
First of all I am honored to be part of these forum.
Currently I am in pain, as i need to convert 50 Drawings GD&T to 3D annotation in part file.
I need to transfer all GD&T & notes to 3D cad model from Dwg, its hectic work, All I was wondering if there is macro which can help, so i started putting some thoughts on it but all went in vain.
does anyone has tried these ?
I am totaly lost, from how to pick dimensions & convert it 3d text ?, also dxf will not work for me , as I want the text & dimensions should be edited if i change 3D.
Please help, how to & where to start or I am the dumbest bugeyed& there is a macro available some place here?

RE: Dimensioning & text from Drawing to CatPart for FTA

not sure scripting could find the link from generated geometry to 3D in order to connect the GD&T to the proper 3D face. VBA script might be limited in this area, you better look with CAA... I don't know much about CAA so can't say if possible or not.

@kharsh
Are you trying to put the GD&T from the drawing to an FTA view in 3D? or just convert it do 3D geometry (no FTA workbench)?

If you don't need association with 3D then you can export GD&T from drawing like a sketch (the same procedure as for a text).
