Ref.dimension display problem in SW2003

Ref.dimension display problem in SW2003

(OP)
Hi, all
I'm new on solidworks, and I'm using solidworks2003. I have a curious problem in solidworks derawings. I used to use reference dimension instead of insert dimension from the model. But all the dimensions I got always have a "RD#" below the numbers where # are numbers set by SW itself. I checked the help files and I can not find a way to remove it. Do anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Ref.dimension display problem in SW2003

There is a setting in the tools menu, that allows you to turn off the display of dimension names.  For the "RD#" to show you have this setting set to on.

I can't give you the exact location as I have been away from SWX for 5 months now.

HTH,

The setting is under the general tab in system options.  The third checkbox down is Show dimension names, leave that unchecked.
