Because of the associativity, the through hole created in the viewport
also appears in the original view.
In the next step, you dimension the through hole diameter in the
viewport. Since the dimension is to appear only in the detail view, you
generate the dimension directly in the layout without having a viewport
active.
To apply a dimension in the layout
1 Change to the layout.
