HD78087: DRAFTING (GENDRAFT) THE PROBLEM THAT DIMENSION TYPE HAS BECOME "DIMENSIONS ON NON -VISIBLE GEOMETRY"

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DRAFTING (GENDRAFT) The problem that
  dimension type has become "Dimensions on non -
  visible geometry" (dimensions on clipping view)
  OPTION SETTINGS:
  -Tools > Options > Mechanical Design >Drafting
  >Dimension Tab Analysis Display Mode > Active
  analysis display mode ==>ON
  Types and colors > Dimensions on non-visible
  geometry ==> ON
  SCENARIO:
  1. Open "Part1.CATPart".
  2. Create a new Drawing (JIS).
  3. Create a view by Front View.
  4. Clipping view - keeping the shape of Pockets.
  5. Dimensions - Select a edge.
  ==> Problem!! Dimension type has become
  "Dimensions on non-visible geometry".
  ADD INFO:
  If selecting 2 edges to create dimension, there is
  no proplem.
  If exchanging the operation order of dimension and
  clipping view, dimensions will be hidden.(Drafting
  View option > Clipping view - Put in no show
  dimensions on non-visible geometry ==>?ON)
