When an Autodesk Inventor linked file is created, the link is able to read parametric dimensions from the part/assembly file. However, to display parametric dimensions on a drawing view, they must be transferred to paper space, typically, at the same time the drawing view is generated. You can however opt to add parametric dimensions later
Note: Inventor Link is available only on 64-bit systems, and it is not installed by default.
- At the Command prompt, enter OPTIONS.
- Click the AM:Drawing Tab
- From the Parametric Dimension Display section, select the Active Part Views option.
- Click OK. Whenever a drawing view is created, parametric dimensions will also be created.
