Dimensions anchored to grid elements in Entire Model view get hidden in Core Only views & vice versa

[Ignacio Azpiazu]

[AC 27] Dimensions drafted anchored to grid elements while in some view with Partial Structure Display as Entire Model get hidden in Core Only views. If I do them in Core Only, they get hidden in Entire Model. 

Is there some setting I am missing somewhere, or I do need to annotate them twice for them to show in views with different Partial Structure Display?

As you discover Cotation dimension tool is Partial Structure display dependent so they are displayed or hidden with the Partial Structure Display active when you create them.

There is actually no option in the cotation dimension tool to choose in witch Partial Structure Display you want them to be displayed. So yes you have to create them in each Partial Display you need them.

hi! this is one of the most extreme time wasters the current dimensioning system presents.  Our proposed dimension tool makeover would solve all of this.

One would think that dimensions to core created while displaying Entire Model would still show when showing Core Only.

And that dimensions taken to 2D elements (grid element, hotspots, whatever) would show regardless of Partial Structure display.

This is so sad.

Not entirely the best solution, but I've been using a dimension 'object' for grids. another benefit is it can show on all stories, so one-dimensional object covers everything (10 stories for my current project)
