Dimensioning Scheme

Dimensioning Scheme

Dimensioning Scheme

(OP)
At this time when I have a dimension where the minimum value is on the left side and the maximum value is on the right, I would like to change it to where the maximum value is over the minimum value.  I know this can be probably changed in the drawing setup file but I don't know where the command is.

Currently, my dimensions look like this:

15.991-15.994

And I would like to have the dimension look like this:

15.994
15.991

How can I change this setting?

Thanks for your help.

RE: Dimensioning Scheme

The option is in the drawing setup file

symmetric_tol_display_standard std_asme

RE: Dimensioning Scheme

(OP)
Thanks for the reply Robert.

I tried modifying the symmetric_tol_display_standard options and it didn't seem to change anything.  When the tolerance was shown as 15.993+/-.002, those settings did make a change; however, when the tolerance was displayed as 15.991-15.995, the settings did not change the display.

Do you have other suggestions I can try?

RE: Dimensioning Scheme
