In your ugii_env.dat (name can vary based on your setup, but file, set the following variable:

Dave,

Thanks for your help. I am looking for I found "ugii_env.dat" file in UGII folder and opened it with notepad. But did not find.

1. I will add this "UGII_NOMINAL_DRAWING_THREAD_TAPER_ANGLE=1.7833" in this file or i will find this row and change older?
2. i tried this and can't save , an error appeared "access denied".

Have any suggestions about this matter?
