Hello Everyone,
I have a 3D model with cells connected to item types.My need is to show these properties on drawing, so I create a property driven annotation (label cell whit text fields connected to an item type properties).Everything works fine in the design model, but when I place this file as a reference (in a sheet, for example) I'm not able to connect labels to the elements.
Now, my question is:
is possible to "attach" a property driven annotation to an element contained in a reference file and show the element property inside the label?
Thank you in advance.
Could you post a file where this is happening?

My understanding of this statement is that you are referencing in a design model where the annotations are already placed, is this correct?
Or are you placing the labels in the sheet/drawing model and trying to associate to a reference element?
Both should be working.

Correct, I'm trying to associate a label to an element in a reference file.
I am able to reproduce this behavior. Defect 863192 has been filed.
Thanks for reporting.

UPDATE: I partially solved my problem.
The cell that I was trying to attach the label to, was a shared cell, and as far I see, the property driven annotation works better with normal cell.
I'll explain:
While, if the visible edges are "cached" I can attach the label on both elements.
This is what I found working with label and 3D cells. I hope that is the solution and it has been helpful. By the way, thanks for your help and I'm waiting some advice or different opinion for how to work with property driven annotation.
P.s.: this is the visible edge option:

I suggest that you start a new post for that topic.

Why? Because it's a different question: your original question, which you've marked as answered, is about a problem with referenced elements.
