I seem to be having some trouble with the Diameter Symbol not showing up in the diameter Dimensions of features.
This is not the same as the <MOD-DIA> issue
I dimension the sketch as a diameter across a centerline and yet the Diameter symbol does not appear in the dimension. Nor does it carry over into the drawing.
I though that maybe a made a mistake and the sketch dimension was recognized as linear instead of diametrical/radial but if you click on the dimension it does give you the option to switch to radial. Also the leader options in the dimensions property manager do have radial/ diametrical selections available
So I would assume that it is indeed being picked up as a diameter dimension
Is there some setting in my document properties or somewhere else that I have forgotten to select/deselect? or anything else I might have missed?
This is driving me bonkers
Using a slightly modified ANSI document property standard
SW 2016 SP 3.0

Kenneth Barrentine thank you for the trouble shooting there.
I do believe I have found the culprit after having a thought about what you did.
I have Master Axes in the part/assembly templates.
When you select the "master axis" as the revolution axis in a revolved feature, it is not recognized as a diameter, since , I guess, SW does not "see" it as in situ and therefore, does not place the Dia symbol.
If you use the Centerline created within the feature sketch then the Dia Symbol is placed correctly.
I think that's why it popped up for you when you created it since you, by default, let it use the sketch centreline as axis of revolution.
**Edit: I should mention that the diameter symbol will indeed appear but after the revolved feature is created. In sketch mode, during generation of the dimension, the dia symbol is not present. Once revolve is applied the dia symbol appears.(at least in my particular case) Just to clarify.
Hope that clears things up. Hopefully there might be a Service/enhancement request to make it recognize both?
Thank you all for the help!
