Reasons column

The Reason column in the Dimension Tracker dialog box explains how a dimension or annotation changed when you updated a drawing view.

  • Detached - rebind failure.

    Solid Edge was unable to find an eligible geometric element to rebind the item. The item may have been deleted.

  • Detached - no edge information.

    The edge of the geometry was not rendered and could not be found.

  • Value changed.

    The model feature changed size.

  • Terminator moved.

    The terminator connect point was moved. The Annotation Moved Tolerance option on the Options tab of the Dimension Tracker dialog box specifies the distance tolerance beyond which this change is reported.

  • Geometric rebind - Reattached to available geometry.

    The item was rebound to the nearest eligible geometric element within a preset distance tolerance.

  • Content changed.

    A change to dimension text or other content not related to value was made to a PMI dimension. Some examples of changes that cause the Content Changed reason to be displayed include:

    • Changes to a dimension prefix, suffix, superfix, or subfix

    • Changed dimension type and tolerance

    • Inspection bubble and tolerance notes added, removed, or edited.

    When Content Changed is the reason, the Previous and Current columns in the Dimension Tracker are empty.
