Inventor 2022 - Drawing annotation strange behavior

[Fleuve]

Hello,

   It's me or we have strange behavior. I start a drawing, put a part on, decide to change viewcube, begin to annotate and BAM! Everything seem wrong! Then begin to investigate a little.

Place base part on drawing and set it by default with a different viewcube angle (Top, Front, Left, Ortho). Annotate it and move viewcube after... Only Ortho view gonna update properly.. I see some value have 2 different value.

2" (1.41 & 1.63)
1 1/4" (1.02)
17" (12.02)

you can check video:

Ok, I know it's must be fixed... you just to choose proper viewcube angle before close the dialog and never touch it again... but natively.. it's not really proper.

Have nice day.

Hi @Fleuve 

I don't see any problem with annotations. Can you explaint what behavior you expect?

@Fleuve 

The dimensions you placed in the initial views were placed as Horizontal and Vertical dimensions.  When you change the view to Isometric, they remain Horizontal and Vertical... they don't know they are supposed to change to Isometric dimensions.  As far as I know this behavior has always existed in Inventor.

Orthographic view dimensions are by default placed as Projected; non-orthographic view dimensions are placed as True dimensions.  This is a view setting, so it can be changed by right clicking on a view and choosing General Dimension Type > 

Changing a view from orthographic to non-orthographic changes that view setting automatically (at least it does in 2022), but does not magically change the existing dimensions to non-orthographic ones.

Two thing.

1. Look a part in any direction the 17 inch side gonna stay 17 inch in any way that you look.
2. If you ask me the highest dimension and I respond : "Depend direction side I look". I gonna fell absurd.

Thanks.

That's mean if you create a view and you will change orientation.. you must delete it and re-begin. Nothing wrong with this solution.. it's just something annoying that you must remember before use this function.

Thanks for you reply...

   Your explication give sense, I just need some experimentation before understand completely the concept and mark has accepted solution.

By default in 2022 annotation was projected. After switch to TRUE, now you can turn the viewcube and dimension proper.. I can send back to production with proper size 😂

Just use that very carefully, because in an orthographic view True can give unexpected (and incorrect!) results.

Hi! Projected dimensions are based on the 3D Model geometry projected to the 2D drawing view plane. True dimensions mean that the dimensions are taken from 3D Model directly. The dimensions are all correct. It is just from a different perspective.

Many thanks!
