Removing the brackets from a dimension

Removing the brackets from a dimension

(OP)
Hi
Please can someone tell me how to remove the brackets ()
from a dimension in Solidworks.
Thanks
Yvonne

RE: Removing the brackets from a dimension

Tools>Options>Document Properties>Dimensions  Deselect the "Add parentheses by default" option.

RE: Removing the brackets from a dimension

Yvonne,

    Automationbabe has told you how to create new dimensions without brackets.  I recommend this too, since I use the reference dimensioning feature to apply real dimensions.

    To remove brackets from the existing dimension, right click on the dimension and select properties.  Deselect "Display with parentheses".

RE: Removing the brackets from a dimension

Open a new drawing, part, or assembly, do as Automationbabe has suggested. Then save the drawing, part, or assembly as a Template. So you don't have to set that option every time.
