Drawing: Zero Dimension Showing Non-Zero
Drawing: Zero Dimension Showing Non-Zero
(OP)
I have an assembly with two components. Each component has a datum plane which I'm using to assemble (mate: coincident), so the component faces are flush against each other.
Now I'm working on the drawing for the assembly and I'm trying to add a dimension and tolerance for the gap between the parts. I've tried several different combinations of the datum planes, component faces, and points created on the faces, but I just can't get the dimension to appear as "0"; it is always "0.00000002" and I can't figure out why.
If I try to reduce the decimal places in the dimension to two, ProE sets it back to eight when I close the properties dialog.
If I change the mate from coincident to an offset of either 0.00000002 or -0.00000002, the dimension changes to 0.00000004.
I'd really like for the dimension to simply read 0 (or even 0.00). Any ideas?

It sounds like you have some error in your model that you are getting a non-zero created dimension in your drawing.
