You need to create a drawing view filter to use the Filter option in view-level dimension creation in single-part, assembly and cast unit drawings. The filter needs to be created on view level, because you create the dimensions view by view.

1. In an open drawing, double-click the drawing view frame to open the View Properties dialog box.
2. Click Filter.
3. Click Add row and define the filter properties.

   • Add a row first to define the Object type object category. This needs to be defined for all drawing view filters that are going to be used in dimensioning definitions. Set the Value to Part or Reinforcing bar

   • Then add a filter row that selects all parts in a specific class, for example.

     

4. Use Save to save the filter with a unique name.
5. Click Cancel to close the dialog box.
