Hello,
I am working in Creo 11.0.1.0.
When making a drawing of a part, I am experiencing an annoying new feature of ordinate dimensions that I have not seen in previous versions (granted we just made a massive jump from Creo 3 to 11).
Here is the scenario:
In a drawing, I have an existing set of ordinate dimensions. These are placed on the righthand side of the drawing view. If I go to add an additional ordinate dimension referenced to the existing origin (.0000 dimension) the new dimension automatically cleans-up/aligns itself with the origin dimension. This seems like a handy feature on paper, but is very annoying if I want the new dimension to be placed on the lefthand side of the drawing view. This is especially true if I am placing multiple new dimensions and need to individually select them all to drag them to the other side.
Is there a way to turn this feature off?
In previous versions, the new ordinate dimensions would follow my cursor and not place until I hit center mouse. They would never auto align with the original dimensions unless I deliberately did so with the cleanup dimensions tool.
I tried making new dimensions on multiple different views with different parts to no avail. I could not seem to find a configuration setting for this either, Searching the forums returned nothing similar, so apologies if a topic about this already exists.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I just discovered the fix.
File -> Prepare -> Drawing Properties -> Detail Options -> default_ansi_ord_dim_aligned set to no
