part drawing's dimensions are not updated after updating the part

Hi Rupesh,

from the scenario you describe, your drawings should update accordingly. Some reasons they may not include:

1. The references are broken.
2. The parts have multiple configurations, the drawing is referencing a different configuration to the one you've changed.
3. You've saved the drawing as a detached drawing

the drawing and the assembly are open at the same time.  The view properties are showing that you are looking at the active part in the assembly.

you have rebuilt the assembly, the part and the drawing?

The dims in the drawing come from the part by going to insert model items or have they been added by smart dimensioning in the drawing?

If you used smart dims I would try inserting model items into the part to get the dims.  that or make sure that all the dims are not dangling and reattach the dims or just put in new ones.

Hi Rupesh,

Does a Ctrl+Q rebuild bring through the dimensions once you've changed them?

Dear Rupesh,

If the part sketch dimensions are given with the reference to the other component then it will updates when you modify the component through which you applied dimensions.

On the other side if you add dimensions part with respective component then only the part gets relocated it will not modify the desired parts dimensions.

hi Rupesh,

what colour are the dimensions that are not updating?

if they are the green/brown colour like below then it is possible that the referenced edge/vertex has at some stage been lost.

it is difficult to pinpoint without the fileset.

are you able to do a full pack and go with the drawing and referenced parts and assembly?

are the dimensions that you are looking for in your model?   If they are insert model items and then they will update.
