You can select an annotation and thus highlight all geometrical features in
relation to this one, and reciprocally, select a geometrical feature and thus highlight
all annotations in relation to this
one.
This behavior is also applicable with Part Design or Generative Shape Design features, and it allows you to know the relationships between annotations
and geometries.
Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape containing annotations.
From the View section of the action bar, click 3DMaster query
if needed.
This location specification is defined on a pattern of holes. Any toleranced
hole of the pattern is then highlighted.
Select the yellow handle and start dragging the arrow head.
A yellow temporary trace is displayed. It corresponds to the
intersection between the annotation plane and the corresponding toleranced
elements. This trace defines all the possible positions for the arrow head that
are semantically correct for the selected tolerancing annotation.
In our
example, the toleranced elements are a group of five holes. Hence, we obtain
five yellow traces.
Drag and drop the arrow head on another trace to the right.
Select Pad.x in the tree.
The pad is highlighted in 3D area, as well as all annotations which are applied to it.
This functionality is
also available for Generative Shape Design features.
