Viewing Geometric Tolerances (GDT) frame in the Model Tree


Sometimes it's hard to edit a GDT frame in a drawing, especially if the GDT is attached to a dimension. The GDT frames can be shown in the tree view of the model or the drawing file by selecting "Settings/Tree Filters" and checking the box next to "Annotations". They are then easily selected for editing.



To make sure you're editing the correct frame, from the dropdown in the drawing, pick "Info/Switch Dimensions", and see the number of the frame you want to edit; the number matches the item in the tree view.

I was not able to get the right-click menu from the tree in the drawing file, but it works fine from the tree in the assembly model file. Select "properties", and edit the frame.
