FT&A

FT&A

(OP)
I am unable to keep the GD&T in ANSI as a positional tolerance. It will show up in ANSI as I make the input, but when I say OK, it reverts to ISO. Plus I loose my diameter symbol in front of the tolerance. Is there a way to lock in ANSI?


Thanks in advance

I did a search.... Nada

Cheers

I don't know anything but the people that do.

RE: FT&A

Tools + Options + Mechanical Design + Functional Tolerancing, and make sure you have the correct default standard

I double checked my options not a lot under FT&A to select (R16) but did find my trailing/lead zero problem.

I was able to keep the positional tolerance in ANSI mode if I didn't add the datums. Then if I dbl click it to update I could add the datums and everything is (ANSI) ok...Still not the way I want it, but it is a work around for now..

Any help...

Cheers

RE: FT&A

Are you using the Tolerancing Advisor tool, or the basic Geometric Tolerancing tool?

I'm guessing the Tolerancing Advisor might be blocking you from creating a GD&T that doesn't follow the ANSI standard. ????
