Changing a dimension symbol to a "reserved" one
Changing a dimension symbol to a "reserved" one
(OP)
Hi,
I would like to modify a dimension symbol, let's say from D to B. When I try to do it, I get a message that this symbol is reserved or exists already. Apparently I used it before, but then deleted that feature with the symbol B... I don't even remember. Can I find what it's assigned to and change it - use it where I need to now?
Thanks,
Oxana

... or maybe B is a variable.
Load your part and from relations choose SHOW DIM and type "B" (without quotes!). If a dim has the symbol "B" assigned, Pro/E will show this dimension. Or evaluate "B".
Also check all the variables/relations. You cannot assign a symbol ("B") to a dimension if there is a variable "B" in your part.
Or maybe a feature from your part shares the same name "B". Check it in your model tree.

I think that your "B" is a dimension and not a variable. And this dimension is assigned to a suppressed feature. Please verify if you have suppressed features in your model. If yes, then go to Pro/Program and perform a search for "suppressed" and search for dimension "B". Or simply resume the feature (if possible) and do SHOW DIM.
