Hi,

I am creating one hole feature in part. When i am adding annotation element to show custom note of radius of hole, It shows dimensions in metric units. But part is in imperial units.

Example, i have created one hole, its dimension in 0.625 inch. It should show same in note, but when i add it in note, it shows 15.9.

 

I checked little bit. it is showing, displayed value, but i need real dimension value in note. Is their any way to do it, please let me know.

My part unit system is Inch-LBs

It would appear that you have some wonky settings in your part. Perhaps from whatever start part you created it from?

I can duplicate your experience by going to:

 

File -> Prepare -> Model Properties

 

Then scrolling down to Detail Options and selecting "change".

If the setting of dual_dimensioning is secondary, things go the way you are seeing them. Setting dual_dimensioning to the default which is primary returns things to the typical behavior which is values showing as inches when the model is inches, etc.

    Thank you. Yes, with dual dimensioning this is erratic behavior. In Metric Both Displayed and Dimension values are Mm. But in imperial units it is not.
