To Show Dimensions in an Assembly Drawing
In assembly drawings, you can display the parameters of assembly features and all assembly components; however, you cannot show the dimensions of subassemblies. The dimensions in an assembly drawing are visible only at the assembly level. You must have the assembly from which a drawing was created in session in order for the dimensions to appear for modification.
1. On the Annotate tab, click Show Model Annotations. The Show Model Annotations dialog box opens.
2. Click .
3. Select type of dimension in the Type list.
* 
When you use automatic replacement to replace an assembly model with another model of the same family, the equivalent dimensions appear if the system shows dimensions in the assembly drawing on a component that you replace with the new instance. If you use manual replacement, it does not preserve the dimensions.
To display part level dimensions in an assembly drawing, select the part on the model tree, right-click, and click Show Model Annotations on the shortcut menu. Alternatively, select the part on the model tree and click Show Model Annotations.
Additionally, to display feature or component level dimensions in a specific view, select the feature or the component on the model tree, right-click, and click Show Dimensions by View on the shortcut menu. You are prompted to select a view.
