Tolerance Display Changes in .drw

Hi,

I am using Creo 2.0 M130. When I open a drawing with diminsions or create a new drawing and add diminsions, I cannot change the Tolerance mode in the dimensions properties dialog box. It is greyed out and cannot be changed. However, by searching the web, I found that i could change it for a particular drawing if I go to File -> Prepare -> Drawing Properties, I can click on Detail options -> change, find tol_display and change it to *yes* and then close. Now, just on that drawing, I can modify the tolerance mode of each dimension. So I do have a work around but it is on a file by file basis.

When I check my config.pro file, I do have a parameter tol_display and it is set to yes. But this does not seem to resolve the issue.

Any help or suggestions are greatly apprciated.

Jon,

Set drawing option tol_display as yes.

File > Prepare > Drawing properties > Change Deatil options > Tol_display as yes

You can add this option in template drawing.

Hi Mahesh, while this is correct, it does not solve my long term issue of applying this as the default for all drawings. I have a .frm file that i use that includes my title block, etc. When i try to add this parameter to this file it does not appear or let me add it.
