a 'bug'?

a 'bug'?

(OP)
Please help me out here. Is it a 'bug' in my version of SolidWorks (in my signature below), that I overwrite a dimension with 'AR' - it comes out as 'A.' Now, I have a fix for it - to be sure - I think I make a note with a leader on it. Just wondering...

RE: a 'bug'?

It is some sort of bug. Somehow, in a few cases a single R is just omitted. You may have to do 2 R's.
