Avoid Annotating Reference Objects

Bruce Harper — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 11:37:22 GMT

OBD CONNECT

I am trying to annotate beams in my active model, but the annotation rule is also capturing the beams in a referenced model too, I do not want to annotate these.

I tried making a Selection Criteria, which is Family & Part = Steel Beams, Mode = Master Only, which works in the selection dialog, and I load that in the Annotation Rules Criteria. But when generating the drawing view it ignores that, and still annotates all the beams anyway.

Can anyone help me? Is there a better way to essentially switch off annotation for referenced models? This must be a pretty common requirement.

General Element Selection operation seems to normally ignore reference objects, why does it not follow that principle for annotations?
