Hi everyone,

I am new to the dimxpert way of doing things and I am fumbling a little.

I took the class and unfortunately I do not have my notes in front of me

so I am hoping you guys can help me.

There are a few things I am having trouble with.

First, in my part (cylindrical) I am trying to establish my datum and it allows me to

select the surface and place the datum but I first see the ghost image of it after selecting

it, but when I exit this command it goes away.  I see it in the Dimxpert manager tree.

I have my view dimxpert annotations turned on.  So why isn't it showing up?

Then I try placing a couple of concentric mates and it gives me the error message

"Warning: Invalid zone type specified for tolerance"  This comes up the second I select

the concentricity symbol upon initial creation.  Why is this happening?

Next and last for now, how do I get these GDT callouts to import into the drawing.

Similar to dimensions being inserted through insert model items.

Thank you for your help.
