Drawing options

[phoxeoy]

Ok, I'm going to ask a stupid question, one that I should know. But for
some reason or another I just never had a reason to do this. Can
someone tell me how to set it where the dimensions in my drawing show
up with the tolerance value below the dimension value and if either the
+ or - value if zero, to be blanked. I have set the drawing options to
blank zero values but the tolerance is not paralle with the dimension
value. Thanks!

hi to all


myself is uv from india, i am working on pro-e wildfire since last 2 years.I want to know whether it is possible to make 2D drawingswith dimensions as we canmake with Autocad. If anyone can help me regarding this, please send me the solution soon. I shall be greatfull to you.


thanks

hmmm.....


making 2D drawings with Pro/E...!!!


Yes you can do it. Make a sketch in the part (no solids...)on one of the dataum planesand derivethe drawing of the sketch in the Drw file. This is the only way you can make it.


Can you tell me why 2D? Just inquisitive....

HI UV,


If you want 2d drawings without solid model then why do you want to invest so much of money on proe why dont you purchase autocad. Proe is not ment to be a solution for direct 2d drawing. Yeh there is a way(as srini told) to acheive it but I would never want to do it.

To answer the original question from Phoxeoy, you set this option to blank zero tolerance, but from what I understand you already did this.

So what's the problem, it doesn't work? It should work. I didn't had problems with it.

The problem is not the blank zero, I have blank zeros but what I don't
have is the tolerance value below the dimension value. Is this
possible? Thanks for staying on topic.

 

[vlad1979]

Don't think it's possible, but maybe there is an option in dtl. I'll ask around.

 

[phoxeoy]

Thanks, The only reason I ask is I got a drawing that was made in proe and it had the tolerance values under the dimension value. It got me thinking and now I want to know how they did it. I wouldn't think that they would create all thoughs dimension and then use @O. Anyway, thanks for the help.

 

[vlad1979]

I don't think there is a .dtl option to do this.


I think they made a non-parametric tolerance using @++0.005@#@--0.002@#. They left the dimension parametric and moved the tolerance below the dimension, using the syntax above. This will be the explanation.

Bummer, oh well. Thanks anyway.
