Leading zero and dimension lines
Leading zero and dimension lines
(OP)
I would like to have leading zeros on all of our dimensions but so far I have ran into a couple of snags. I'm using SW2003 SP 5.0. First, can leading zeros be added in the ANSI standard? I don't want to add manually because I want it for all dimnensions, I want to change it in the template. I can get the leading zero with the ISO standard but then my dimension sets on top of the dimension line, I would like to have it centered on the dimension line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.






RE: Leading zero and dimension lines
In the upper left box titled "Dimension Standard" there is a drop down menu for leading zeroes. Change this to "Show".
This info is based on SW2004 sp0. I don't have 2003 installed on this machine so I can't verify that this option exists in the older version.

There is no way to control the hole callout tolerances at this time. Maybe in future versions this will be possible. Till then put and ER into SW. Enhancement Request.

As an option, you can select the hole callout and then change it's precision to use fewer decimal places. Although, this would have to be done to each callout note seperately

In the "Find What:" box you type in what you want to find.
and in the "Replace With:" you type in the text you want to replace it with.
Click "Replace" or "Replace All" and it replaces it
But I don't think there is away to get rid of the zeros in the Calloutformat file.
