Drawing & model dimension don’t match

[JamesM]

I think I've seen this posted before, but searches have not found anything.


We're using Wildfire 3. I have a hole in a part that was created at .62 diameter. When dimensioned in the drawing, it is shown as .625 diameter. My first assumption was that the creator had originally dimensioned the hole as a fraction, thus rounding it, but that wasn't the case. Is there any configuration optionthat can cause a drawing dimension to not match its part?

Was the dimension createdin the drawingor is a feature based dimension?


if it is a dimension that is created in the drawing look for an {0O}{1:

The dimension was created in the drawing. I had also assumed that the dimension had been over-ridden, but that was not the case.

Try View > Update > AllSheets.


It's possible that the model was changed and the dim has not been updated.

I havealso seen this behavior with a sketched features. It happens with the default decimal placesset to 3 and in the sketch under Sketch>Options>Parameters the Num Digits value has been set to 2 and the dimension is a weak one.

That worked. Thanks.

Glad to be of help.


I've got a mapkey with a button to do that. I make a habit of using it.
