You can convert driving dimensions created by features into annotation elements and place them on annotation planes. However, you can create the driving dimension annotation elements only in the features that own the dimensions. These annotation elements cannot have any user defined or system references.

In Creo TOOLKIT, a driving dimension annotation element uses the ProModelitem handle with the type field PRO_DIMENSION and the appropriate dimension ID.

Functions such as ProSolidDimensionVisit() and ProFeatureDimensionVisit() can be used to find both edit dimensions and driving dimension annotation elements.

Functions Introduced:

The function ProDimensionAnnotationelemCreate() creates an annotation element for a specified driving dimension, based on the desired annotation orientation.

The function ProDimensionAnnotationelemDelete() removes the annotation element containing the driving dimension. It deletes all the parameters and relations associated with the annotation element.
