Dual Dimension question
Dual Dimension question
(OP)
Is there a way to always position dual dimensions in the to right orientation? I am tired of having to select each dimesion and go the properties window, yadda yadda. I could not locate an option for this...any help??
Thanks.

RE: Dual Dimension question
The setting you are looking for should be in the .DTL file. This will only correct the problem for new drawings.

RE: Dual Dimension question
Is what Tofflemire said. In drawing mode go to ADVANCED->DRAW SETUP and locate the DUAL_DIMENSIONING and change default value from NO to primary[secondary]. Therea are other parameters you can play to setup the right number of decimals.
You can save these changes as "drawing.dtl" This is the DTL file Tofflemire was talking about.

Not sure if this will work. In the .DTL file look for or add "text_orientation" set it to parallel from horizontal.
Remember this will only work on new drawings, so try it out on a new drawing with a part or assembly.
I have a hard copy of the .DTL parameter list, not sure were it was print off from...
Hope this helps

I couldn't find a drawing configuration file setting for this either.
