DRAFT ENTITIES IN A DRAWING

[sadrok]

I haven't had any problems with this until we switched to wildfire 4. I opened a drawing that has skeched entities dimensioned to actual part edges. Normally I could relate all thesketched entities to the view so if I moved it they would follow. The sketched entities move with the view now but thedimensions stay where they were. I tried redefining the attachmentsbutthey still don't follow the view.How do I fix this?

try repainting after the move.

I did, i also updated the drawing too. Still won't move. Could it have anything to do with the fact that some components are frozen?

 

[design-engine]

are you talking about group 'relate view' or 'relate to object'?

 

[sadrok]

group, relate to view.

We're still on Wildfire 2 and I've always encountered that problem.The dimension gets left behind. Only way around that one for me was to get away from draft entities and use a cosmetic or curve on the model.

Maybe i'mconfusing it withcosmetics, then.

Set the drawing.dtl option associative_dimensioning to yes. If draft dimensions were created with this option turned off you will need to recreate the dimension or edit the attachement.

I'd forgotten about the associative_dimensioning option. That's what it was! Because we switched to to WF4 my new .dtl file was set to "no"


Thanks.
