Summary


Details

Retrieved 3D Model dimensions that contain Tolerances, Classes or 
Pre-/Suffixes will create drawing dimensions with this additional information 
however they are not linked to its source.  If the tolerance is changed in the 
Model Application the Draft Application does not get notified, unlike the 
corresponding dimensions which are tracked and updated with the drawing view.


How to get retrieved drawing dimensions with Tolerances, Classes and/or 
Pre-/Suffixes linked to its PMI Model Dimension Source?



Solution

The simplest solution is to delete the dimensions and retrieve them again 
though you will have the same problem again should the model tolerances be 
changed.


The alternative is to define the tolerances through a PMI Model View and create 
a Draving View that uses it.
