Drawing notation in AECOsim SS5

Is there any way to place automatic dimension on form element (not datagroup structural element )  , I tried to define it on Drawing Notation at library oalso from the drawing notation in Information of the element , nothing works please advise ?

  • The Drawing Notation tab in Building Element Info only applies to drawings created from the older Drawing Extraction Manager tool. This feature was never carried over to Drawing Views since it proved to be problematic.

    Other than dimensions that are applied to a grid, which itself is part of the Drawing Model and not referenced 3D geometry, I can't think of any way to auto-dimension elements in a Drawing View. I do wonder how others have approached this?

  • I prefer working associated dimentions. The problem is the associations are lost too frequently and I have not developed a workflow where I can see that dimension corrupted.

    for example. I am working in a model and make a change. I may now have "corrupted" a dozen Dawings Views and therefore may haved affected 50 sheets of drawings.

    I need a way that is guaranteed to catch all these corruptions. Maybe a tool to Check on my drawing that take me quickly to the design Model and area that needs to be addressed.
