Using the Global Scope Range

You can use the scope range when using the connection management and check the validity of the reconnected annotations according to the selected scope option.

Important:

  • The connection of the annotation on the new geometrical element is computed according to its local axis, not with the point where you make the selection.

  • Constructed geometries are user surface-based and are not taken into account as affected by the reconnection. When the geometric components of an user surface involved in a constructed geometry are modified, the constructed geometry is then automatically updated.

  • Annotations in Assembly FTA or 3D Shape FTA contexts can be manage except for Assembly FTA Presentation directly generated from a 3D Shape annotation.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.

  1. Right-click the annotation as shown on the 3D shape and select the Associated Geometry > Geometry Connection Management from the contextual menu.



    The Connection Management dialog box appears.



  2. In the Scope Range select Global .

    Important: The geometry connection modification will only affect the selected annotation.

  3. Right-click Geometric Component.3 in the Graph of Geometrical Links as shown and select the Connect contextual menu.

  4. Select the surface as shown on the part.

    The Connection Management dialog box displays:


    • The selected annotation
    • The effect type
    • The initial validity of the selected annotation
    • The current validity of the selected annotation after the reconnection.



  5. Click Check Validity command to check the new geometry component validity relative to the selected annotation.



    The validity status is KO for the Linear Size.1, Datum Reference Frame.1 annotation because it will not have any meaning if the modification is applied.

  6. Click OK.

    The annotations are now connected on the new surface and the dimension annotation is turned to invalid because it has no more meaning for the new geometry.
