Display Limit Tolerance On One Line

Display Limit Tolerance On One Line

(OP)
Our settings for dimensions have upper limit displayed above lower limit. Does anyone know how to display dimensions on the same line (ie. "lower limit" - "upper limit")?

Thx

RE: Display Limit Tolerance On One Line

Limit tolerancing according to ASME Y14.5M - 1994 states on page 24 section 2.2 Direct Tolerancing Methods (a) Limits Dimensioning.  The high limit (max value) is placed above the lower limit (min value).  When expressed in a single line, the lower limit precedes the high limit and a dash separates the two.  See Figure 2.1 page 23

To my knowledge, Pro/E 2001 doesn't allow limit dimensioning to be expressed on a single line.

In the drawing setup (Menu: Advanced/Draw Setup) you should set 'text orientation' to one of the horizontal modes, e.g. iso_parallel_diam_horiz or ansi_parallel_diam_horiz, in order to achieve this effect.
This works in 2001 and Wildfire.
