Question

Adding geometric tolerance shows the old one used

Hello All,

 

I have this situation where I create a drawing and I add a complicated geometric tolerance with text and symbols etc, which is fine and required for the design.

 

But when I want to add a new geometric tolerance it shows the complicated one. Meaning I have to delete all the text, symbols etc. I think Creo remembers the previous one. Is there a way that I could get a blank slate every time when I add a new geometric tolerance?

 

Best regards,

 

Vincent

chance you could use this as a hack to workaround

CREO 7.0.5.0 and 8 added a setting for this option... sadly that does not help you or me(7.0.3).

I would make a mapkey that makes a clean gtol if the first workaround does not work.
