Get rid of these arrows?



Thought it might be graphical analysis turned on at first, but I checked and its not turned on, besides, they just look like the hits I took on the part.

Anyone?

  • I'm necrobumping this one.  I have a couple programs I'm working with where this is a problem.  I have to go back after the program runs and edit the feature creating the arrows to get them to disappear, then reprint the report.  The big B requires pictures of the part and measured features in the report and these arrows block everything.

    The feature is a circle measured for the manual alignment.  All features had the "done" button pressed after.  The only thing I can think of is I've aligned and rotated the part before measuring the circle.  The circle isn't dimensioned, there is no graphical analysis for the feature.  The arrows appear immediately after the manual alignment command is executed.

    Software version is 2021.2.

  • Be very careful!  If you are editing features after measuring them, you might actually be resetting the measurement back to nominal - essentially deleting your previously measured data.  Those arrows are almost certainly coming from CAD graphical analysis.  Open each of your dimensions and make sure you do not have CAD graphics / report graphics turned on.  If they are legacy dimensions then the dialog will look something like this...

    If they are Geometric Tolerance commands, the control is on the "reporting" tab...

  • I'm aware of the reset to nominal after editing a feature, but thanks for the warning.  In my case this feature wasn't dimensioned at all.  I found that creating a location command for it, giving it 1000" tolerances, outputting to "None", and selecting "Off" for graphical analysis removed the arrows from the graphics display.
