I have a model that establishes a point offset from a coordinate system. These dimensions areset up in a family table. Ther drawing for thesehas a table for the offset dimensions. Unfortunately, one of the dimensions ends up being negative due to theorientation of the coordinate system. Icould redefine the coordinate system to make all dimensions positive, but that would mean swapping values around (x wouldbe y, y would z, and z would bex...). I am wondering IS there a simpler way around this? IS there some"coding" I can use in the table toeliminate the "-" sign on the dimension? I know I could just type the value,like "12.7" asopposed to useing the "&d356", but I would rather keep the relation IF I can.
Note that when I entered the dimension that is negative into the family table, it popped up a warning that this"could" possible switch back and forth, and gave me several options to "fix" this.I selected the one to NOT flop the direction and it seemed to place a "$"at the column header, so it reads $d356. Tried that in the table and it didn't work...
thanks in advance...
