Hello

 

I would like to know basic difference between different dimensions like add,rdd and dd. 

 

What would be impact on above dimensions if I set config option "create_drawing_dims_only" as NO.

 

Is there specific guidlines on which type of dimension need to be preffered with respect to specific scenario or it is purely on user choice?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Ketan

create_drawing_dims_only" as NO causes Creo to create dimension records in the related component. This causes the component to be marked as modified. If the changed component is not saved the dimension will be lost from the drawing.
