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?
Bruce,
Instead of applying the rules in a single drawing, you could try this alternative suggestion:
1. Create a separate drawing of the reference alone without any annotation rules.
2. Create a drawing of the active model without references, but with structural annotation rules.
3. Reference the drawing created in step 1. to the drawing created in Step 2.
Best Regards,
RJ.
