This tab controls which dimensions and annotations ADC places on the drawings. The options are grouped by model type so you can dimension parts, assemblies, and sheet-metal parts differently.
Parts
Add Hole / Thread Notes
- Activated: ADC adds hole and thread notes to the views.
Standard Part
Retrieve Model Annotations
- Activated: ADC retrieves the model’s dimensions and annotations onto the drawing.
Add Overall Dimensions
- Activated: ADC adds overall (bounding) dimensions.
Include 3D Annotations
- Activated: ADC imports the model’s 3D annotations onto the drawing (Inventor 2022 and later).
Max Dimension Count
When the number of retrieved dimensions on a view reaches this value (for example 10), ADC lets you choose whether to keep or delete them, helping you avoid clutter.
Ask Delete Dimension
- Activated: ADC prompts before deleting dimensions.
Assembly
For assembly views, Include 3D Annotations imports the model’s 3D annotations and Add Overall Dimensions adds overall (bounding) dimensions.
Sheet Metal
For sheet-metal views, Include 3D Annotations imports the model’s 3D annotations and Add Overall Dimensions adds overall dimensions.
Add Bend Notes
- Activated: ADC adds a bend note to each bend line on the flat-pattern view.
Add Bend Dimensions
- Activated: ADC adds bend dimensions to each bend line on the flat-pattern view.
