Prefix problems

Prefix problems

Prefix problems

(OP)
I somehow managed to get my SE to place a hole prefix in all dimensions automatically.  I don't know how this happened and can't figure out how to stop it.

Any ideas?

Using SE16

RE: Prefix problems

Hi alan,
Click on the dimension command, but before you place a dimension go to prefix and clear the text from the box.
That should do it.

RE: Prefix problems

Hi,

some additional info:

when dimensioning is active but nothing is selected setting
prefix, suffix a.s.o then all dimensions will take that
setting from now on. This may inadvertedly happen after
placing a dimension and then set a prefix. Everything is
still shown within the toolbars but nothing is selected
anymore.
