Limits Tolerance Display

Folks,

I'm trying to show a dimension with its tolerance limits and I can't figure out how to get the max and min values to sit on top of one another. See below. I want the "R.003-.005" to show up as "R .005.003" with the max shown over the min. Is there a config option or something somewhere that lets me do this??? I am using Creo 1.0

Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
To get this back to dimensions stacked on top of each other Right Mouse click the dimension and go to the properties and select the Display tab and click the "ISO Tolerance Display Style" option.

    Lots of good replies but this one was the one that worked. A couple of people pointed me to the "ISO Tolerance Display Style" checkbox on the screen shown below. That did the trick! I'm not sure why this wouldn't be the default option for the "Limits" display mode, especially since "R.003-.005" means something very different to me than what the design intent of the dimension was, but whatever.

    Thanks to all of you who replied.

    Tim,
    I filed a case with PTC support against this issue several weeks ago and was assigned an SPR# 2139207.

    Just wondering on a Friday afternoon if anyone else has noticed this
    little issue before... (I'll state up front I'm on WF3, but I would
    assume it would still carry on into Creo...)



    I've created a feature on the outside of a cylinder that I would like to
    pattern around the cylinder. (for that matter, I guess it could happen
    on any sort of pattern) I then click pattern and enter an angle and
    the number instances in the pattern. The pattern fails (as usual on a
    round part) and I get the "Resolve features" menu. If I click "Undo
    Changes" everything goes back to the way it was and I just have to
    figure out what references Pro didn't like to revolve around the part.
    If I hit Quick Fix and try to investigate the issue, obviously the "Undo
    Changes" option goes away. ( I think there's a warning for this, but
    I've clicked through it so many time I don't know what it says) Anyway,
    I hunt through and see if I can change anything that will allow this
    pattern to work, but alas, nothing does. NOW I'M STUCK! I can't "Undo
    Changes" but I also can't "undo Pattern". The only options are suppress
    or delete. Both of which take me back to completely re-creating the
    feature... Shouldn't there be a 'delete pattern' option here? Or maybe
    an "Ok, since you can't pattern my feature can you at least leave it in
    my model" button???



    Aahhhhh, alas its quitting time, and I will rebuild the feature on
    Monday and hope that it will pattern correctly...

    Agreed that is (was) a pain. Always has been a sore spot for me - like not
    being able to add a reference to a sketch that has a mirrored feature as a
    child.



    Anyway, your pain goes away - sort of - in WF5. There is no more Failure
    Resolve Mode. The model regenerates whatever it can and the failed features
    turn red in the tree. You are free to work on whatever you want however you
    want - failed features and their children simply are not there until you
    resolve them. It is much nicer and easier - most of the time - than the FRM
    was. I cannot speak directly to how this works with patterns without some
    experimentation. But, I think it is better.



    Now if they'll only allow new refs added to the sketch of a mirrored
    feature. Creo 2? 3?



    -Nate
