Good morning,
I have a customer who needs a dimension scheme shown in attached picture dims1.
Our models are created in mm and metric has to be the primary unit on drawings.
With these dtl options you are able to display feet/inches as secondary unit, but the result is like shown in image dims2.
It's (from our point of view) a complete nonsense to display a metric dimension with a "m" as some sort of "metric fraction".
Settings:
My question:
Does anyone know if there is a chance to set the config or dtl options(Creo2) to come closer to dims1.jpg?
My last chance is to develop a Toolkit application that modifies all the dimensions by adding lines of text... but the ft/inch stuff then wouldn't be associative then.
By the way:
How do Americans convert 18.525 millimeters to something like [60' 9-11/32"] ??? Perhaps the my question sounds stupid, but is there a formula for this (resulting in a fractional display 1/32 ???).
Andreas
