Add level attributes in automatic part marks

You can add level attributes, such as TOP_LEVEL, BOTTOM_LEVEL, ASSEMBLY_TOP_LEVEL, ASSEMBLY_BOTTOM_LEVEL, and ASSEMBLY.MAIN_PART.TOP_LEVEL, in part marks as user-defined attributes.

The level attributes take the dimension format from the MarkDimensionFormat.dim file. If you want, you can also change the dimension format in the Dimension Properties dialog box in an open drawing and load the changed dimension properties in the dimensioning rule that you use for creating dimensions in a view.

You can add level attributes in automatic and manual marks.

To change the dimension format and add level attributes:

In an open drawing, on the Drawing tab, click Properties > Dimension.
Select MarkDimensionFormat from the properties file list at the top, and click Load.
Change the unit, precision and format as desired.
Click Save to save the changes in the MarkDimensionFormat file, and then click Cancel to close the dialog box.
On the Drawings & reports tab, click Drawing properties and select the drawing type.
Load drawing properties that are as close to the ones you need as possible.
