Giving Dimensions Symbol Names

Giving Dimensions Symbol Names

Giving Dimensions Symbol Names

(OP)
I have a dimension that I want to rename to "G".  However, ProE will not let me.  Whenenver I try to do this I get the following message:

"This symbol is reserved or exists already."

I have looked into my relation and parameter files, and I can't find a "G" dimension.  This happens on new parts and on existing parts.  I can't seem to figure out how and/or where ProE is using "G".

Do you have any ideas on why I can't use "G"?  Is this symbol used internally within the ProE program somehow?  Is there another place I can look besides the relation and parameter files that could possibily tell me where the symbol "G" is used?

Thanks in advance for your help.

"G" is used for Gravity
