Inch mark " in dimensions

[liquidater]

Is there a way pro-e will make a dimension read with the inchs like this 7'-5". I have struggled looking for a way to not have to modify every dimension to include this ". Is there a drawing config that can correct this problem?

Set the drawing.dtl option use_major_units to yes.

I have that config entered in the active.dtl but I don't get the quote marks after the inches in the dimensions. How do I get the quote mark? ie: 7'-5" instead of 7'-5

Change the drawing.dtl option dim_fraction_format to default or std. Having the option set to aisc will leave the double quotes off. You won't have a dash between the foot value and the inch value. The dash appears when you have value less than an inch (example 20.5 in -> 1' 8-1/2"). There is also a dim_fraction_format in the config.pro you may want to set to std also.

That helps but I also need the dimensions to read 7'-0" as well, changing that drawing option took out the zero inches.

Unfortunately you're going to have to usea workaround for dimensions that need to have 0" added to them. You can select all of them and and it to the Postfix box in the properties dialog box.

Thats what I was afraid of, thanks for your help.
