Override value in Dim Properties will not work.

[dholloman]

Hell I'm trying to fake in some dimension but everytime I enter the value I want in he override value box and hit enter or "OK" it changes back to the oringal dim.[URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Djstorm100/media/Pro-E/2014-03-1109-09-08_mti_work_pcContains_zps3f977ae6.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/Djstorm100/Pro-E/2014-03-1109-09-08_mti_work_pcContains_zps3f977ae6.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Don't for the the @O ("oh" not zero - my trick to remember this is that you are going to own the dimension yourself by overiding it - a bunch of O's).

So @O 13.375" should show up as 13.375"

At least this is old school and should be done in the display tab. Not sure of the overide feature there.

Thanks, Dale

Right, but at the same time if I need to place +0.05 and -0.2 tolerance it will not let me place those.

[Dale_Rosema]

Not as nice, but:

@O 13.375 +0.05/-0.20

is an option.

With our standards here at work we have to have them vertical of one another (the tolerances). Can't be beside one another.

Like the middle dim in the picture

If it is a created dimension in the drawing, you can use the @o as described above and to get the tolerance, you can use the superscript/subscript functionality.

@O 100 {2:@++.05 @#}{3:@--.02 @#}
