Charles Freeborn Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Where does one specify the dimension settings in Layout? Project settings are in fractional, but dims come out in decimal. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi Charles, The File Menu: Project Settings: Working Units should control the display and readout of the Dimension Styles, so if you set that to Fractional, and then create a Dimension Style, it should also be Fractional: Is this not operating like this for you, and are you using formZ v8.0.2?

Charles Freeborn Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yes, 8.0.2, yes, working units set to fractional, create new dim style and still decimal output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi Charles, Your Display Accuracy shows as 0" -- if you set that to a fraction, does that "fix" it for you? And is that dimension using that style? If you are still having any issues with this, please send the file so we can take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Freeborn Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 On it's way to you. No luck here. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Freeborn Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Scratch that. Figured it out. The original model (that the layout drawing is reading from) must be in fractional too. So in practical terms, you can only have one format for both model and layout. Meaning that if you have a multi-sheet layout there can not be mixed dimension styles for the various components (and therefore subcontractors). Interesting.

Tech Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi Charles, Yes, these are read from and synchronized to the main Project File. If you need separate dimension unit types, you would need to save as to a new project and adjust the settings there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
