Hole Wizard dimensions in drawing

In draw mode (SW 2004, SP 3.0) I do the following:

insert model items --> dimensions --> marked for drawing --> ok

It works for the most part.

My question is: why doesn't dimensions created in "Hole Wizard" show
up? Not the hole callout but the dimensions to the sides of the part.

Also, After inserting dimensions as above, I went back in and added a
fillet. But when I came back into the drawing to insert the dimension
(as above) the fillet dimension did not show up.

Are dimensions automatically placed on a layer that is turned off?

TIA

to have hole wizard dimensions show up, you need to check the appropriate
box in the model items dialog-- typically "Hole Wizard Locations"

 

I have the answer to this one, you have to be showing the hole in a
section view. I ran into this a little while ago. Inserting model
items only brings in dimensions that are relative to the view. So
even if you have hidden lines turned on, it will still not bring in
those dimensions. Try creating a section view through the hole and
then insert model items again on the section view.

 

my questions was going to be do you have to use the 1st hole in the HWH
pattern, the one with the dimension. The answer is yes. Even if you section
another hole in the patter it will only show the dims coming off the 1st
hole in the pattern. Will you always be able to section the first hole to
show the dims correctly? No. What about 3d sketch HWH's? wonder how the
react?!?!? my .02
