drawing in wildfire

Discussion in 'Pro/Engineer & Creo Elements/Pro' started by Andrea Willans, Jul 7, 2003.

  1. When creating drawings from parts, dimensions display with upper and lower
    limits. Does anyone now how to make the default setting 'nominal'.
    Thanks

  2. tol_display YES - in your drawing .dtl file

    tol_mode nominal - in config,pro

    Models created before this config setting is changed will not show as
    nominal as default - therefore if you create a drawing from an older model
    and change the .dtl to tol_display YES then all the dims will change to
    limits not nominal - you would then have to select all the dims to change
    them to nominal - possible on 2000i2 but not 2001 - I haven't checked on
    Wildfire yet but this mapkey will work on 2001 and Wildfire to 'box' select
    dims

    mapkey $F7 @MAPKEY_NAME Drag Window To Modify Dimensions;\
    mapkey(continued) @MAPKEY_LABELModify_Dimensions_Many;#MODIFY;#DIMENSION;
    #PICK MANY

    - I think you can put #PICK ALL in there as an alternative

    Hi Andrea

    "In config.pro set tol_display to no for no tolerances to be displayed at all
    or set to yes and tol_display to nominal if at some point you may wish to
    display tolerances in your drawings."

    I had the same problem, the above was obtained through this group.
