Removing The Inch Notation In Dimensions
Removing The Inch Notation In Dimensions
(OP)
I am currently working with Solidworks 2001.
When I dimension parts in the "Inch System", the inch notation is always displayed with the dimension. (example; 1/2").
I would like to know how I can remove the inch notation from the dimension, so instead of seeing 1/2", I would see 1/2.
Any response is greatly appreciated!!

Set the units to Inches and click the decimal Option.

However, if you do this, you loose the ability to have the dimension updated with changes; these will have to be done manually.
RE: Removing The Inch Notation In Dimensions
Like Jmagee has pointed out you can manually change the Dims. by going to the properties of the Dimension and then clicking on Modify Text. Where you see <DIM> simply remove this and place in there 1/2. This will give you what you want, but it doesn't update anymore after that. So it really defeats the purpose of using SW.

CorBlimeyLimey - Thanks for mentioning ANSI STD...I'll use that as leverage to keep the inch symbol for fractions.
