## Working with CAD GD&T Callouts

PC-DMIS lets you display CAD GD&T callouts that are part of your CAD model in the Graphics Display window:

Sample CAD GD&T Callouts Displayed in the Graphics Display window

Note: These callouts are not the same as PC-DMIS's GD&T FCF dimensions. These CAD callouts are stored directly in your CAD model and are simply CAD elements. They do not perform any function inside of PC-DMIS other than providing visual information in the Graphics Display window.

Showing the CAD GD&T Callouts

The ShowCadGDT registry entry, located in the Option section of the PC-DMIS Settings Editor, controls whether or not these callouts are displayed by PC-DMIS. If this value is set to "FALSE" then PC-DMIS will not display the callouts, and the entire GD&T callouts area will be disabled. The default value is "FALSE".

Moving the CAD GD&T Callouts

To reposition a CAD GD&T callout, place PC-DMIS into Text Box mode , and then click and drag the callout to a new location.

Filtering the CAD GD&T Callouts

Enter Text Box mode , right-click on a GD&T callout, and select Cad GD&T Display Filter from the short-cut menu. The Cad GD&T Display Filter dialog box will appear, showing a list of CAD GD&T information and two columns of option buttons (Show all and Hide all) to toggle the visibility state of the various GD&T callout elements.

Selecting an option button will either show or hide that item immediately. Clicking OK will close the dialog box, storing the current filtered state until accessed and modified later.

Showing or Hiding Individual Callouts

Enter Text Box mode , right-click on a GD&T callout, and select one of the show or hide menu items.
