Show dim with 2 place decimal

[succello]

Is there a way to show a dimension in a drawing as a 2 place decimal without having to regen the model even though feature was originally created w/ 3 place decimal.


Ex: .725 dim in feature shown in a drawing as 2 place decimal becomes .73. Need to regen model to .73. I want to maintain .725


Is this unreasonable? I wouldn't mind creating this dim but I have about 20 dimensions that I need to round off only in the drawing

When you changed the decimal place to 2 places, you actually changed the nominal value of the dimension from .725 to .750, this will cause a regen. If you want to round off to 2 places without doing a regen, "create" a dimension while in drawing mode and round that one to 2 decimal places. This eliminates the need to regen.

There is also a config.pro setting that will keep the dimensione with the drawing and not the part. create_drawing_dims_only YES

You can control a dimension with a relation. The relation can be as complex as you want or a simple assignment:

d123=.725

Then you can change the display to 2 decimal places but the feature will still measure .725. Of course, you will have to edit the relation to change the value.

I didn't think there would be an easy way to do this. Oh well, one more reason to create dimensions.


Thanx for the replies
