When I am useing the smart dimention function on the 2011 version of solid works I see <MOD-DIAM><DIM> Showing up in the sketch screen itself. I have attached a screem cap of this issue and any help would be greatly apricated as I am currently trying to finish a college project.
view turn off dimension names
That's not a dimension name. That's the tag for the diameter symbol, which means Solidworks isn't reading your GTOL.sym file.
Try restarting Solidworks and if that doesn't work, check you Solidworks program folder under \lang\english to make sure the file is there and hasn't been renamed.
This issue comes up on occasion, so if you search gtol.sym, you'll find other people who've had this problem.....and stop spelling dimension, 'dimention' You're messing up my chi.

Screem cap didn't bother you? Or apricated?
Thank you for your help and sorry about the spelling
Hey Mark your poor spelling is OK. All you young college kids just text now days. You don't need to know how to spell.
Mark, et al,
Don't worry too much about your spelling. Some of the very best engineers I have ever had the pleasure to work with were really atrocious spellers. I've always thought that my good spelling was an indication that I wasn't quite as good an engineer as others thought me to be. I do suggest that you use the spell checker. Some people can't divorce the way you spell from how good your ideas are.

I normaly use the spell check in google chrome but for some reason it will not work here. I'll get over it anyway.
