Modify part/model dimension via drawing

[Yashasvi23481]

Hi All,

     This feature was there in 2016 version but I am in 2018 and I am trying to modify part dimension from drawing so model gets updated. Has that been removed ? There use to be an option when you click the dimension within drawing to modify model dimensions. Now I don't see that option. If that was removed, I like to bring it back. makes life so easy when you are in hurry to model things up and when you produce drawing, you realise hole is too small for purpose. 

    Ability to modify part through drawing will save lot of pain of going to n fro from model to drawing. If its still existing in 2018 tell me how to do and where to find ? 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Yash

It is still possible in 2018 but only on dimensions coming from the model (as it was in 2016).

What is changed in 2018 is the commad to retrive model annotations because it supports also 3D annotations.

Hi Sergio,

     Thank you for letting me know. I did see there is checkbox to Edit the dimensions from drawing in application options. Does that mean I have to check the retrieve all dimensions from Model as well ?  Will try and let you know. 

Thanks !

Achieved the idea since Inventor supported it and Submitter has known the answer.
