Dimension settings

Michael Herman Mar 26, 2011 10:34 AM

When I went into solidworks this morning I sketched a circle and went to dimension it and the dimension looks like this "<MOD-DIAM>1.5". I did not change any settings. Can someone tell me what setting i need to change to just display the numeric value.

Try restarting the SolidWorks or your system as it may fix the issue.

If that doesn't fix it then look for Gtol.sym file in another machine where it displays the dia symbol as required. Just overwrite your file with that one. Gtol.sym file is under C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\lang\English folder (path may vary in different version of SW)

    Mike,
    FYI, check out this thread. It says this could also be contributed to another session
