modify text on driving dims

Jul 12, 2004 2 Replies

Has anyone else noticed that you can't modify the text, (add note like "Typical 3 places") in a drawing when model dimensions (driving) are used in SW2004 SP3 & SP4. When you go to dimension properties, the "modify text" button is greyed out.



You could do this in SW2003. Is there a new check box in "tools-options" to turn this on and off, or is it a bug.

seems to be working ok to me. imho, it's easier to select dim, then add text in fm (dim properties)

Sorry folks.... false alarm.

It doesn't work "if" the active config. of the part doesn't match the config. of the active drawing view. In this case, there's no feedback to tell you what the problem is. Just a greyed out button.

Maybe it would be a good idea if they left the button active, but popped up a descriptive dialog (only works on active config, blah-blah, etc.).
