Dimensions appear after drawing update 1

[slcad]

Hi there,

I have a drawing that is not up to date (parent CATPart was moved). I re-route the link (via menu commands Edit - Links - Find/Replace...) to the right CATPart, and the link is accepted. As soon as I update the drawing, a whole bunch of green-colored dimensions appear all over in my views... Does anybody know what are these and how to get rid of them?!

Some screen-shots: here's the drawing before update...

... and after

This is a fairly simple drawing, but imagine the pain to erase all of them in a complex drawing... and they are not shown as being green, so I can quickly perform a search...

This might be a matter of settings, I don't know...

Thanks in advance!

The green dimensions are auto-generated. Check under Tools > Options > Mechanical Design > Drafting > the "Generation" tab. The top box is Generate dimensions when updating the sheet. Probably switching this off will fix your problem.

This may be a new behavior due to using a different environment, or maybe someone else used the auto-dimensions and then hid them on the original drawing?

Cheers,
Mark

Hi,

Those are dimensions generated from 3D constrains...(see Tools-Options-Drafting-Analysis Display Mode).

Uncheck option Generate Dimensions When Update Drawing from Generation Tab in Tools-Option-Drafting.

Anyway, its good when somebody can offer a solution.
