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

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.

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

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