Changes that Are Highlighted

With highlighting turned on, these changes are highlighted in drawings:
  • Model changes that cause base number values to change
  • Imported dimensions where the tolerance type or value has changed in the model
  • Imported dimensions where there is a change in Add Parentheses or Inspection Dimension
  • Imported dimensions where there is a change in the Dimension Text (<DIM> by default)
To use this highlighting functionality, you must first save the part or assembly and associated drawings in SolidWorks 2012. When you reopen the drawing, the highlighted changes appear. If you hover over a changed dimension, a tooltip shows the previous dimension.
