Setup an ISO-standard Model in Drawing Mode

Hello,

When creating a drawing using a format file, Creo automatically select the ANSI/ASME tolerancing standard and I need to manually change in order to have setup the tolerances as DIN/ISO.

Is there any way we can (via a config parameter, dtl file, format file, etc) to setup the drawing to follow the ISO standard?

Thank you!

You need to use the .iso.dtl file. If you create a drawing template for ISO then it will be set by default when you use the template. If you assign the .iso.dtl to the template and save it then you should be good to go. See the link below.

•iso.dtl ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

•jis.dtl JIS (Japanese Institute of Standards)

•din.dtl DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung / German Institute for Standardization)

The Detail options settings is saved with each individual drawing file.

Thank you for your reply. I know that this is possible to edit and setup when working with templates, but in my company we work with formats instead as they happen to be more flexible for our needs.

I've loaded the ISO.dtl as drawing and format setup file but when creating a new drawing I still have the ANSI/ASME instead of the ISO.

I've tried to edit this parameter in the format but I cannot define the tolerance standard in the .frm

You can also set the .dtl file for a format and save the format for re-use. Check the below config options to see if they are set in your environment.

if you create a new format then Creo uses dtl file mentioned in FORMAT_SETUP_FILE config.pro option
if you create a new drawing then Creo uses dtl file mentioned in DRAWING_SETUP_FILE config.pro option

If you need to use a format and you want it to be set up for ISO standards, then create the format using the .iso.dtl file and save it for reuse. If you want newly created formats and drawings to use ISO then use the above config options to specify which setup file to use.
