Highlight - Overwrite dimensions

[nrkc]

I am using ProE WF4. I need to know how to highlight the dimensions that we overwrite (@D to @O[text]) in the drawing.


I used Edit - Higlight by Attributes and tried different options withindimension but no result. I have a big drawing in which many dimension values are not parametric with model and are manually over-written, which ends up in error whenever I update model geometry and face this issue very often. It would be great if someone could help me out for this issue.

I don't know how to help you now, but we change the dimension color when ever we create a dimension. I wish Pro/E could do this automatically.

The way to identify dimensions that have been overwritten using the @O [whatever text]
is to do an INFO/SWITCH DIMENSIONS all the dimension will then show their Name d1, d2, d3, add1, add2, etc... except for the dimensions that you have overridden with @O they won't change.

Dave,


Your reply helped me a lot. Though I used this option before to view other stuffs, I didnt realize this could me give me the result. Thanks a bunch.

And for those using WF5 you can setup a rule based layer and a search that looks for overriden dimensions which isn't possible in earlier versions.
