How are you using the "create_drawing_dims_only" config.pro option?

Hello all,

I would like to gather feedback from this community about how of the long existing "create_drawing_dims_only" config.pro option is being used in your organizations.

First let me provide a short summary for the values of this option

If set to NO  - when creating a driven dimension in the drawing, the dimension is stored with the model (however not visible there). this dimension can be essentially leveraged to another drawing of the same model (but is not really going with the model based approach)

If set to YES - when creating a driven dimension in the drawing, the dimension is stored with the drawing only

My impression is that many Creo users (and their CAD Admins) have set this option to be set to YES, in order to avoid pushing drawing information to the model 

Currently the default value of this option is set to a value of NO. we (PTC) are considering to change the default value of this option to be YES (which seems to be more suitable for many Creo users who are already using this value in their organizations)

So here are my questions to this community, hopefully you can help:

1. Which value are you currently using for the "create_drawing_dims_only" config.pro option, in your organization and why you prefer this value over the other?

2. Do you have any concerns from us changing the default value of this option to be YES (please note that we are not removing this option, we are just considering to change its default value to match to what seems to be used by many.

Also a change of this option will not impact any existing dimensions in your drawings, it applies ONLY to newly created dimensions

I would appreciate any feedback on the above

Thanks and regards
