Limit Dimension Display

One of our users is getting newly created limit dimensions on his drawing displayed as 12.250 - 12.253. When I created a new limit dimension, it shows as 12.253 over 12.250, like this:


12.253


12.250


Is that a DTL file setting or a config.pro setting and what is the setting name and proper value?


We only have 1 DTL file and it doesn't load like config.pro where a local one will overwrite a system one.

Ben,
In your drawing setup file, the text_orientation option controls the display of your dimension:

TEXT_ORIENTATION PARALLEL

TEXT_ORIENTATION HORIZONTAL

A limit dimension of .254 over .250 is considered "ISO tolerance display style" and can be toggled on/off in the "display" tab inside of the dimensions properties. As for a Config option, I have not looked into it yet, but I am hoping to implement something to automatically check that option for everyone at my company as well. The other comment on this thread may very well be what you are looking for.
