I have been off of Pro-E for a few years now, but once upon a time I considered myself a skilled WF 2/3 user. My latest project is MBD design using WF 5 and we are having issues with the driving dimensions feature in Pro-E. Here goes.
I have a relatively simple turned part I am modeling. I created my fully defined sketch then finally set my annotation orientation to the same plane the sketch for my revolve feature was placed on. When I create my driving dimensions for the feature they do come in but are not able to be modified. They also show up in red where some of my other GD&T callouts show up in black and are selectable and can be modified. The driving dimensions cannot be selected when trying to place a new GD&T callout and they are not editable even if I try and right click from my model tree. I have tried to replace them on an active orientation again, I have deleted and recreated them and nothing seems to help. I have even tried changing different options in my selection filter with no results.
What am I doing wrong? I miss the days when all the GD&T went onto the sketch dimensions. It seems they made it very convoluted now..... Thanks in advance for any insight to this issue, I am sure it is just something small I am missing but I just can't figure it out. Basically I want access to the dimension "properties" menu and to be allowed to place GD&T and/or annotation features to the dimensions.
