Dissociated dimensions

Dissociated dimensions

Dissociated dimensions

(OP)
Using NX 10.0.3.5.

I made a change to an existing drawing yesterday, and before I started, I noticed all the dimensions were dissociated. So, I reassociated all the dimension to the correct solid edges. However, when I opened up the drawing this morning all the dimensions were dissociated again.

Anybody know what's causing this? Thanks.

RE: Dissociated dimensions

Difficult to say without the actual drawing.

Also, are you working Mastermodel? In a teamcenter environment?

"Also, are you working Mastermodel? In a teamcenter environment?".....Yes for both.

I noticed that the dimensions don't appear dissociated until after I update the views. For some reason, each time I open the drawing file the views are out-of-date which is not an unheard-of red herring.

RE: Dissociated dimensions

Looks like your 3D model is no longer visible..
That's why the views are still correct (associative dimension) until you update them. Then the 3D model is "removed" from the views and dimension get retained.

Is it possible for you to share your Drawing and Item? (Export assembly from Teamcenter)

Model not fully loading maybe?

RE: Dissociated dimensions

Did you set your load options to Structure only? (which means the 3D model isn't loaded in your drawing)
