default dim diplay to be nominal instead of limits

default dim diplay to be nominal instead of limits

(OP)
Does anyone know how to make the default dimension style "Nominal" instead of "Limits".  I couldn't seem to find a drawing setup parameter for this.
thanks

RE: default dim diplay to be nominal instead of limits

tol_mode
nominal, limits, plusminus, plusminussym

Sets the default display for dimension tolerances. If set to nominal, displays dimensions without tolerances. If set to limits, displays them as upper and lower limits. If set to plusminus, displays them as nominal with plus-minus tolerances (the positive and negative values are independent). If set to plusminussym, displays them as nominal with a single value for both the positive and the negative tolerance.
