I just started getting into V5R21. I've started working on a drawing and my cumulated dimensions are coming out wrong. They were set correctly for my previous version. (R18) But now they are jacked. I've been trying to fix the standards and am having no luck. So I have a couple of questions.
1. Are the dimension standards, in this case ANSI, set for a drawing once you start it?
2. Since I now have R18, R21 and V5-6R2012 on my computer is this causing some trouble? (Maybe I'm changing the wrong standards?)
I've tried running in admin mode and changing the settings, that other posts have suggested, but nothing happened. I'm not use to going into admin mode, and to be quite honest I don't get the reason for needing to go into it just to change drawing-dimension standards, so I may have been doing something wrong. (Actually, it is probable.)
I went into the Environment Editor and picked the Catia name that corresponded to the version I am working in and added values to CATReferenceSettingPath and to CATCollectionStandard setting them to a folder I created for them.
I then ran R21 in admin mode, and it worked. I then changed the ANSI.xml settings according to another post/s and then saved, exited and went into R21 normally. Tried the cumulated dimension and nothing changed. It looked exactly like it did before. I checked the ansi.xml in tool/standards/drafting and they were set to what I set them to. So, I don't get it. Even if the settings I made weren't correct, something should have changed. All I really need is for the dim. value to be // to the 1st picked edge and for that value to be at the end of the 2nd ext. line.
