Hello all,
I'm currently having an issue where I'm opening older part drawings in SW 2017 and basic dimensions are being added to hole dimensions I don't want to be basic. I can change these manually and save the file but when I reopen the file the basic dimensions are back.
I've attached a snippet of the unwanted basic dimensions.
I actually just looked at this a minute ago and changed everything to none. It still changes all the dimensions back to Basic when I open up the file.
You clicked on "OK" after making your changes and not "Cancel"? Is the file read-only? This is puzzling.
Yes, I clicked ok and the settings seem to be saved when I restart SW. The file isn't read-only. It's an editable solid drawing file.
David, just a shot in the dark but any chance they're coming from the model itself and not actually the drawing? You would see the box checked for "Import Annotations" if you click the drawing view I believe.
The "Import Annotations" box is unchecked when I click on the view. Worth a shot but it didn't fix the problem
David Koper - Go to Tools ->Options, and click on the "Document Properties" tab. click on "Dimensions" and then on the "Tolerance" button. You can control your dimension type by selecting your choice in the "Tolerance Type" drop down. I hope that helps.
