Required Annotation Properties Have Been Changed
GD&T Advisor automatically creates native
annotations on the
design model. When you make a change to the properties of one of those annotations and then update the GD&T Advisor model, one of the following things will happen:
• The GD&T Advisor model data is updated to reflect the change, such as a change to:
◦ The tolerance mode, value, or precision of a dimension
◦ The state of certain optional modifiers
• The annotation property in the CAD model reverts to its original state, as defined in GD&T Advisor, in regards to the change in:
◦ The diameter symbol applied to a geometric tolerance
• The error message—Required annotation properties have been changed—is displayed, in regards to the change in:
◦ The material condition modifier applied to a datum reference
◦ The state of certain optional modifiers
• An information message—User-specified annotation properties ignored—is displayed and the change is ignored, such as a change to:
◦ 'Per Unit Tolerance' specified
◦ The state of certain optional modifiers
• The change has no effect on the GD&T Advisor model and is ignored, such as a change to:
◦ Dimension or tolerance name
◦ Dimension display properties
This information message indicates that there has been a change to an aspect of the annotation properties that is not supported by GD&T Advisor and cannot be automatically validated. Thus, the change may cause problems with the part definition.
To reset the annotation to its expected properties:
1. Right-click on the feature in the Feature Tree and select Edit... from the context menu.
2. Specify the geometric tolerances in the dashboard as desired.
3. Click the Accept button in the dashboard.
