Pro_E Chamfer Dimension

(OP)
New User in Pro_E.

How do I dimension a chamfer?  I would like the dimension to have a leader line and show as ( .06±.01 x 45 deg ). I always get a callout like .06 measuring the length of the chamfer?

In the properties menu, under the display tab the chamfer style box is greyed out?  I looked under help and cannot find any information on this.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I did look there but the information wasn't very helpful.
I did find out that you have to create the chamfer a certain way in order for the drawing to show correctly.
If you create the chamfer as 45 X D you can then show the dimension as.
Example: .06 X 45°

Laudy1,

Please note, if you use the 45 x D chamfer option you cannot come back later and change the angle.  It will always be 45.

You can change the type of chamfer to allow for changing the angle.
