Creo 5.0.2 Diameter symbol stays bold

[Aaronm87]

I'm having an issue where the diameter symbol is staying bold even after changing the font to legacy. Even if the dimension is created after the font change, it still is bold. The picture below shows the ASME (left) vs LEGACY (right) fonts. I can work around this by manually copying and pasting the diameter symbol from the GTOL frame to the dimension text, but this is slow and a pain on large drawings. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to report this bug to PTC for fixing

If the dimension is 'shown' from the model, then you need to set the detail option in the model.  Setting the option in the drawing only controls things created (stored) in the drawing.

These are not show dimensions, but it looks like both are controlled through that dialog. Thanks!

Are the created dimensions saved with the part? Also if this is supposed to be something fixed in this version and you're in a legacy drawing, or used a legacy template you might need to "set" update_drawing all" in the drawing setup. Things that have been fixed in drawing mode don't usually update without it so that drawings don't look different just because you opened it in a new version. It has to do with unauthorized changes to released drawings.

Even I create a drawing dimension the font's change doesn't affect the diameter symbol or any other symbol added to a dimension. They stay bold no matter what font is set. Added frame control symbol inherits a bold font of the symbol while unattached doesn't.  Does anyone know how to fix it?

Are you positive you have symbol font set to legacy in both the model(s) and the drawing?

I see this is listed as solved. What is this config option in the part so the diameter and c'bore symbols are not bold?

Path:

OPEN PART MODEL>FILE>PREPARE>MODEL PROPERTIES>DETAIL OPTIONS>CHANGE>SYMBOL_FONT>LEGACY

Refresh drawing.
