Ref Dims in Drawing mode

[dgschaefer]

What controls the display of ref dims in drawing mode? I want my ref
dims enclosed in parentheses, not followed by REF.   I've set
'parenthesize_ref_dim' to yes in my config.pro and I still get ref dims
with 'REF' instead in my drawings.  I've looked at the dimension area of
the DTL file and don't see anything that seems to relate to ref dims.



Thanks,



Doug Schaefer

You will need to change your *.dtl file and you may also need to open the
option and load it manually in to the part or drawing, because many of the
options are only read when the part is created.
