Drafting diminsion assocativity

[Todd Mann from Fastech]

I have got this to work on one file but the next file it doesn't? Please help! I go though and diminsion my part. The cut outs on the part are constantly changing. When I xform translate the enitity that is changing it will up-date the diminsion. Sometime the assocativity is there and sometime it is not.

william, go to dimensions and notes in settings/configuration.go to dimension settings in that window and look at the associativity settings to see if it is set like you want.

are the entities being moved the ones that have the associativity?

This is the first place I looked and the setting are right.

Yes the enitities being move are the ones that are assocated to the diminsions.

 

I have found the with my solid turned on that the diminsions and diminsioning the geo. When you move the enitity the diminsion will not up date. But if you turn the solid off and diminsion it when you move the enitity it will up date the diminsion.

This sounds like you are sometimes dimensioning the solid and not the wire frame. Just a thought.

If you regen the solid what differance does it make?

I have reported countless bugs on dimensioning associativity (especially ordinate dimensions and those that are associated to solids). Some I can repeat and others I cannot. Some have been fixed...

 

If you have something you can repeat please send it to QC.

[Matthew Hajicek - Singularity]

From what I've been told, dimensions on solids do not support associativity.

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

That's an answer I have never gotten from QC...
