I have an automated model with options.


In the drawingI have arequirement that only one ofthree possible dimensions is shown.


Is there a way to only have the required one showautomatically?

You may have to create a parametric curve satisfying your 3 dimensions andthose 3 dimensions asreferance dimensions in the sketch itself. now you can select the curve in the model tree reight click show dim by view selct the view.


it may work.
 
You may use Drawing Program (Tools-Drawing Program) to show dimensions
automatically. First you have to create STATE (Tools-Drawing
Program-Define States-Create State), that includes wanted dimension.
Then write a program, for example:



IF Something=="A" (Something is a parameter)

SET STATE A
(A is a name
of State)

ENDIF

Hi Matwer


It seems to be good option


i have a big model, which has many fearures


i want to put few dimensions, from few features, for show/erase in drawing


for that, i tried to create a state in drawing, it is difficult to pick up the required dimensionsin drawing mode


can i create a state in model

Hi venu2citd



As far as I know, you can't, but creating dimensions in states is as easy as without states.

Thanks very much matwer,

Looks like the way to achieve the dimension control in my 'one size fits all' model /drawing task.


Cheers
